Automóvil Club de Chile

What Automóvil Club de Chile does

Automóvil Club de Chile is a Chilean non-profit institution founded in 1928 that operates a multi-product mobility services platform serving both individual motorists and enterprise clients across Chile. Headquartered in Providencia, Santiago, the organization runs 11 nationwide branches and is a member of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), which grants international recognition and access to global automotive standards. It employs 101-250 staff and segments its operations across six wholly-owned subsidiaries covering driving education, assistance, insurance brokerage, training, and a road safety foundation.

The company's core offering consists of four product pillars. First, the Escuela de Conductores provides driver licensing courses spanning Class B (light vehicles) through Professional Class A2-A5, plus specialized courses in forklift operation and hazardous substances transport, supplemented by OTEC-accredited corporate training with 40+ SENCE-coded courses. Second, the Plan Movilidad membership (0.34 UF/month, roughly $14 USD) provides 24/7 roadside assistance, towing, and route repair, with add-on modules for home (Plan Hogar), motorcycle (Plan Moto), and health/telemedicine (Plan Salud) coverage. Third, Macc Corredora de Seguros operates an insurance brokerage offering automotive, fleet, driver life (in partnership with MAPFRE), and civil liability coverage. Fourth, ancillary services include the Permiso Internacional de Conducir (PIC) recognized in 130+ countries, Chile Valora competency evaluation and certification, mining-sector training, and an interactive road safety workshop program.

Revenue mechanics combine per-course fees from the driving school, recurring monthly membership subscriptions, insurance brokerage commissions, and corporate training contracts financed through the SENCE tax franchise. The organization holds ISO 39001 road safety management certification, SENCE OTEC accreditation under NCh2728, and Chile Valora competency evaluation accreditation. Distribution relies on the 11-branch physical network, direct sales, and digital channels including LinkedIn, X, and Instagram. No revenue, funding, or app-based metrics are publicly disclosed.
