Bonus-malus rules

Bulgaria's Insurance Code was amended in 2025 to introduce a national bonus-malus system for MTPL (new Art. 490a, in force since 01.08.2025), under which insurers adopt and apply rules to adjust the premium based on the policyholder's claims history over a given period. The tariff applies regional coefficients based on vehicle registration plate regions grouped as Regions I through V, with a 20% discount available in Region V for clients who also hold a valid Casco or Property insurance with Bulstrad. No Bulstrad-specific bonus-malus implementation details were found in official sources at the time of verification.
