This paper proposes bonus-malus systems for fleets of vehicles, by using the individual characteristics of both the vehicles and the carriers. Bonus-malus coefficients are computed from the history of claims or from the history of safety offences of the carriers and the drivers. The empirical results are derived from a data set obtained from the Société de l'Assurance Automobile du Québec, the public insurer for bodily injuries and the regulator of road safety.

The paper benefited from useful comments of two anonymous referees. This research was funded by the programme de recherche universitaire en sécurité routière of the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) and the Société de l'Assurance Automobile du Québec. The authors also acknowledge financial support from the Fédération Françhise des Sociétés d'Assurances (FFSA) and the FCAR in Quebec. They remain responsible for the errors, if any. A first version was presented at two research meetings of the FFSA and at the Risk Theory Seminar of the American Risk and Insurance Association.
