Unique selling points

Buying OCTA directly on If's website saves up to 10% compared to other purchase channels.

Policy terms can be chosen flexibly for 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months instead of a fixed annual term.

The optional 'Atlīdzība pie If' add-on lets policyholders claim directly from If, including arranging vehicle repairs, without approaching the at-fault driver's insurer.

Customer support is available by phone 24 hours a day, every day.

Claims can be filed conveniently through the If Mobile Baltics app or the Mans If self-service portal.

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.

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.
