Legal Defence / Court Costs
Covered
No limit stated
Asset Insurance's MTPL product page states that the insured object covers civil liability for damages caused to third parties, without stating a separately-capped legal-defence/court-costs sub-limit; under the Insurance Code (Art. 429), reasonable costs of establishing liability, including court costs awarded against the insured, are covered within the overall liability limit.

Roadside Assistance
Not established from the reviewed documents
Asset Insurance's MTPL product page and internal claims-settlement rules do not mention roadside assistance one way or the other; the sources are silent on whether this service is offered with the compulsory MTPL product.
Driver Accident Insurance
Optional
No limit stated
MTPL liability itself does not compensate the at-fault driver's own injuries. Asset Insurance's news page confirms the company successfully completed testing and production-environment integration with the Unified Information System for Risk Assessment, Management and Control (ЕИСОУКР), which allows it to issue compulsory MTPL combined with the compulsory 'Accident of persons in a motor vehicle' product.
Застрахователна компания "АСЕТ ИНШУРЪНС" АД приключи успешно тестовете и интегрирацията за продукционната среда на Единната информационна система за оценка, управление и контрол на риска (ЕИСОУКР).
Passenger Accident Insurance
Optional
No limit stated
A dedicated passenger-accident benefit is not part of MTPL itself; a passenger injured by the at-fault insured vehicle may instead claim as a third party under the bodily-injury liability cover. Asset Insurance's ЕИСОУКР compatibility certificate allows it to issue compulsory MTPL combined with its compulsory 'Accident of persons in a motor vehicle' product, which covers the driver and passengers in the insured vehicle.
Полученият сертификат за съвместимост дава възможност на АСЕТ ИНШУРЪНС да издава задължителна застраховка "Гражданска отговорност" на автомобилистите в комбинация със задължителна застраховка "Злополука на местата в МПС".

Bonus-malus rules
The Insurance Code amendment in force from 1 August 2025 introduced the legal basis for a bonus-malus premium-adjustment system for MTPL. The implementing Ordinance No. 54 entered into force on 25 August 2026. Practical, operational application of the system is expected around February 2027, according to the Deputy Chair of the Financial Supervision Commission. Each insurer will independently set its own rules for adjusting premiums based on claims history drawn from the centralised Guarantee Fund register.
