Abstract: BMS in force show a progressive reduction of the observed average premium, which causes a financial imbalance in the system (see Lemaire (1995)). As a onsequence, frequent premium adjustments become necessary and result in discrepancy between the reduction defined in the policy contract and the ffective discount applied to the driver. Most policyholders are not aware of his “lack of transparency”. This paper deals with the problem of designing an optimal tariff structure so that the designed BMS is adequate and satisfies both transparency and financial balance conditions.
