CAA South Central Ontario
The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA; French: Association canadienne des automobilistes) is a federation of eight regional not-for-profit automobile associations in Canada, founded in 1913. The constituent associations (also called "clubs") are responsible for providing roadside assistance, auto touring and leisure travel services, insurance services, and member discount programs within their service territories. The CAA National Office in Ottawa coordinates relations between the clubs, oversees joint initiatives, and lobbies the federal government. In 2020 and 2021, the Gustavson Brand Trust Index named CAA the most trusted brand in Canada. CAA is not affiliated with the London, Ontario-based Dominion Automobile Association (c. 1948) or consumer groups such as the Automobile Protection Agency.
