At today’s meeting, 07.12.2021, t the proposal of the Guarantee Fund Council, the FSC made a decision to determine the contribution of insurers offering in the Republic of Bulgaria compulsory motor third party liability insurance to the Uninsured Vehicle Fund in the Guarantee Fund remains at BGN 50 for each insured motor vehicle. At the same time, the FSC determined the amount of the contribution of the insurers who offer in the Republic of Bulgaria compulsory Accident insurance for the passengers in public transport under Art. 461, item 2 of the IC at BGN 15 for each seat, excluding the driver’s seat in the vehicles.

The Guarantee Fund manages two funds – the Uninsured Vehicle Fund and the Security Fund. The Uninsured Vehicle Fund pays compensation in case of damage from an unidentified motor vehicle or, if the driver is without Motor Third Party Liability Insurance, and the Insurance Fund pays claims to persons with an insolvent insurer.

Until now, the contribution to the Uninsured Vehicle Fund was BGN 10.50 for each insured motor vehicle under Motor Third Party Liability and BGN 0.15 for each seat in a public transport vehicle for Public Accident Insurance for Passengers in Public Transport. The contribution to the Security Fund was BGN 2.50 for each vehicle insured for Motor Third Party Liability.

At the proposal of the Guarantee Fund Council, the contribution of insurers offering in the Republic of Bulgaria compulsory motor third party liability insurance to the Fund for Uninsured Motor Vehicles in the Guarantee Fund remains at BGN 10.50 for each insured motor vehicle. The amount of the contribution of the insurers who offer in the Republic of Bulgaria compulsory Accident insurance for the passengers in public transport under Art. 461, item 2 of the IC also does not change and remains BGN 0.15 for each seat, excluding the driver’s seat in the vehicles.

The contribution to the Security Fund also remains BGN 2.50 for each insured vehicle under the Motor Third Party Liability.

The total contribution to the GF of each insured motor vehicle under the Motor Third Party Liability remains BGN 13.00, which is distributed in the two funds in question.
