Wawanesa Insurance is now a part of the
Automobile Club of Southern California (AAA) Family

Wawanesa General Insurance was a U.S. subsidiary of The Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company, based in Canada. Our former parent company will focus on their home market in Canada and agreed to sell Wawanesa General Insurance to the Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club, an affiliate of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The acquisition was approved by the CA Department of Insurance. We're excited to have the Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club as our new parent company, and to continue to provide our services to our members as a subsidiary company.
