Key conditions

Territorial scope

Coverage applies on the territory of Bulgaria under Bulgarian law; on the territories of all other countries whose national insurers bureau is a member of the Green Card system; and on the territory of a third country when damages were caused to persons from an EU member state during travel between two member states and no national bureau bears responsibility for that territory.

Green card rules

The Green Card certificate is issued together with the MTPL policy at no additional premium and serves as proof of insurance for travel in all Green Card system member countries. When purchasing online, the certificate, sticker and talon are delivered free of charge by post.

Driver restrictions

Coverage extends to the owner, user and holder of the vehicle, as well as any person legally driving or using the vehicle specified in the policy. Damages suffered by the at-fault driver are explicitly excluded.

Claim notification deadline

The insured must notify the insurer within the prescribed periods and in the prescribed manner upon the occurrence of an insured event. At the event scene, the insured must not leave until competent authorities arrive where required by law, and must not consume alcohol or narcotics before their arrival. If the MTPL policy was concluded before the vehicle was registered (chassis number only in the policy), the insured must declare the registration certificate and licence plates in writing to the insurer within 7 days of receiving them from the MoI authorities.

Bonus-malus rules

A bonus-malus system for Bulgarian MTPL has been approved through amendments to the Insurance Code. Accident-free drivers receive a bonus (premium discount) and at-fault drivers receive a malus (premium surcharge). The Guarantee Fund maintains an electronic register of damages forming the basis for each driver profile. Full practical implementation is expected in 2026 pending the FSC ordinance and system integration.
