Bonus-malus rules
If's OCTA IPID documents do not set out bonus-malus pricing rules. Separately, as of 1 August 2024 the former Bonus-Malus class system used market-wide for Latvian OCTA pricing was replaced by a centralized insurance-history data service maintained by LTAB; If confirms on its own website that the previous Bonus Malus (BM) system ceased to operate from that date.

No 1. augusta pārtrauks darboties līdz šim ierastā Bonus Malus (BM) sistēma.
Territorial scope
Coverage is valid in European Economic Area countries, Switzerland, Serbia, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, and Montenegro; if an accident occurs outside Latvia, the liability limits of that country's own legislation apply.
