What Touring does
Touring SA is a Belgian mobility and travel services company headquartered in Brussels, operating since 1895 and structured as a tied (bound) insurance agent for AG Insurance SA, which holds a participation exceeding 10% in Touring. The company distributes a family of breakdown assistance and travel insurance products under the Move On brand — Move On Belgique for breakdowns in Belgium and up to 100 km beyond the border, Move On Étranger for cross-border breakdown across Europe with repatriation and replacement vehicle coverage, Assurance Voyage for unlimited medical expense reimbursement abroad, and Assurance Annulation et Bagage for trip cancellation and baggage protection. These products are complemented by an extensive member benefits ecosystem including Assistance Vélo (bicycle breakdown), Doctor Line (video-call medical consultations), airport lounge access at Brussels and Charleroi airports, Joker Taxi, free annual car check-ups, free tourist visa processing via VisumCentrale, ski insurance, Fulli toll badges, German eco-vignettes, CarSelect used-vehicle marketplace, fuel cards, parking discounts, and the Touring Magazine content platform.
Underlying technology consists of a bilingual (French/Dutch) digital platform at touring.be integrating self-service insurance configuration, the Touring Mobilis route planner and real-time traffic service, the MyTouring customer portal, and content publishing for European mobility guidance. Cross-border dispatch is enabled via membership in the ARC Europe network and affiliation with the FIA. Customer support runs through phone lines (02 286 34 45 for product info, 02 233 24 24 for roadside assistance, dedicated tourist/legal/medical info lines) and a complaints department.
The business model is primarily commission-based insurance intermediation — Touring earns commission on AG Insurance policies sold — layered with subscription recurring revenue from annual Move On memberships and transaction fees on vignettes and toll badges. Customers purchasing any Touring product automatically become members of the separate non-profit ASBL Touring Club Royal de Belgique. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer digital and phone sales with bank-intermediary sales through BNP Paribas Fortis and partnership channels (Rent A Car, VisumCentrale, Fulli, Vignetics, airport lounges). Pricing tiers range from €207/year (individual) to €315/year (family) for Move On Belgique, with Move On Étranger add-on at €145 and travel insurance add-on at €48. Customer concentration is on individual Belgian motorists as the primary segment, with a secondary business-solutions segment for fleet and corporate travel clients.

Touring competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- RACC: Reial Automòbil Club de Catalunya, a Spanish motoring club providing roadside assistance, travel insurance, and member services. ARC Europe and FIA counterpart offering a comparable product mix in another European market.
- VAB: Belgian roadside assistance and mobility services provider (formerly Vlaamse Automobilistenbond). Head-to-head domestic competitor offering breakdown assistance and travel services to Belgian motorists, the most proximate competitive threat in Touring's home market.
- ADAC: Germany's largest motoring club (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club), offering roadside assistance, travel insurance, magazine content, and member benefits. ARC Europe and FIA co-member with Touring, and the dominant scale benchmark for the category in Europe.
- Touring Club Suisse (TCS): Swiss motoring club and explicit "sister club" of Touring per the source data. Provides roadside assistance, travel services, and member benefits in Switzerland — a direct functional mirror and referral partner.
- ANWB: Dutch mobility and roadside assistance club offering breakdown cover, travel insurance, and a magazine/content portfolio. Most direct peer: same motoring-club model, comparable member-benefit ecosystem, and immediate Benelux neighbour sharing the ARC Europe network with Touring.
- RAC (UK): British roadside assistance and motoring services company, providing breakdown cover, insurance, and member benefits. Closest Anglophone analogue in product scope and ARC Europe network participation.
Broad incumbents
- AXA Assistance: Assistance arm of AXA providing travel, roadside, and home assistance globally. Adjacent incumbent with similar product lines but distributed primarily through AXA insurance channels rather than consumer motoring-club membership.
- Allianz Assistance: Global assistance provider (part of Allianz Partners) delivering travel, roadside, and health assistance as part of the Allianz insurance ecosystem. Comparable travel-insurance and assistance products, sold mainly through Allianz insurance distribution.
- AAA (American Automobile Association): North American motoring club offering roadside assistance, travel, insurance, and member discounts. Functionally the most scaled analogue of the Touring model, though operating in a different regulatory and geographic market.
- Europ Assistance: Global travel and roadside assistance provider owned by Generali, offering corporate and consumer assistance products across multiple continents. Broader incumbent operating as a B2B/B2C assistance platform rather than a consumer motoring club.
