The Royal Automobile Association of South Australia (RAA) provides a range of member services. These include 24-hour emergency breakdown assistance, vehicle inspection services and insurances along with a range of additional member benefits.
The RAA operates its services on a break-even basis, while generating profit through its commercial and investment activities.[1]
The RAA originated as the Automobile and Motor Cycling Club of South Australia in 1903. In 1904, the name was amended by removing the words 'Motor Cycling.' The club was reconstituted as an association in 1911 and received Royal patronage in 1928. In 1959, the association changed its logo from AA of SA to RAA.[2]
The head office of the Royal Automobile Association is located at RAA Place and has branches throughout the Adelaide metropolitan area and in South Australian regional centres.
