Key conditions

Driver restrictions

The OC policy covers liability of any person driving the insured vehicle during the insurance period who causes damage in connection with the vehicle's movement. The insurer may seek recovery from the driver if the damage was caused intentionally or while intoxicated, if the driver obtained the vehicle through a crime, had no required driving licence, or fled the scene.

Claim notification deadline

In the event of an accident, the policyholder must promptly notify the insurer and cooperate with the claim settlement process. The insurer must provide a claim decision within 30 days of receiving the claim notification; if investigation is not possible within 30 days, within 14 days of clarifying all necessary circumstances, but no later than 90 days from receipt of the notification. For the simplified OC claim path, payment is issued within 5 business days of assessment.

Bonus-malus rules

Benefia applies a bonus-malus system based on the policyholder's claims history, adjusting the OC premium according to the number and type of claims reported. Policyholders with a no-claims history receive discounts; those who have caused claims may face surcharges. An optional No-Claims Discount Protection (Ochrona Utraty Zniżki / OUZ) add-on is available, which preserves the current discount level even if a claim occurs during the policy period. Benefia reports all concluded OC contracts and claims to the UFG (Insurance Guarantee Fund) in accordance with statutory requirements.

Territorial scope

Poland and countries whose national bureaux are signatories to the Multilateral Agreement (EU member states, EFTA states, Andorra, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, United Kingdom). Green Card required for Albania, Azerbaijan, Iran, Morocco, Moldova, North Macedonia, Tunisia, Turkey, and Ukraine.
