Customer preferences:
Customers in Belgium are showing an increasing inclination towards comprehensive motor vehicle insurance coverage that not only protects their vehicles but also offers additional benefits such as roadside assistance and coverage for personal belongings. This shift in preferences is driven by a desire for greater peace of mind and convenience in the event of accidents or breakdowns.
