At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

How Chubb compares to other insurance companies
| User Reviews | 3.7 |
|---|---|
| IQ Score The Insurify Quality (IQ) Score uses more than 15 criteria to objectively rate insurance companies on a one-to-ten scale. The Insurify editorial team researches insurer data to determine the final scores. | 7.1 /10 |
| Liability Only Liability-only insurance, sometimes called minimum-coverage insurance, pays for bodily injury and property damage to others in an accident the policyholder causes. It does not pay for the insured’s own damages. | $120/mo |
| Full Coverage Full-coverage car insurance generally includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, and may include other optional coverages such as uninsured motorist coverage. Collision covers a policyholder’s repair or replacement costs in case of an accident. Comprehensive covers damages caused by non-accident events. The average quote displayed here reflects policies with the following coverage limits: $50,000 bodily injury liability per person; $100,000 bodily injury liability per accident; $50,00 property damage liability per accident; $1,000 collision deductible; and a $1,000 comprehensive deductible. | $216/mo |

Our editorial team spent 350 hours developing the IQ (Insurify Quality) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. Criteria are weighted by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.
We rate each company on a 1-to-5 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. We update ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.
Third-party financial ratings: We use data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims
Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 28,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also considered third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the United States, as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer’s transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
Availability and reach: Insurify identified the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share to score availability and reach.
How Chubb auto insurance works
Chubb offers a variety of insurance products, including auto, liability, travel, and home insurance. Chubb also offers business insurance, such as workers’ compensation and professional liability insurance.
If you purchase Chubb Masterpiece auto insurance, you’ll need to determine the value of your car. If someone steals your car or you total it in an accident, you’ll receive a full reimbursement from Chubb, regardless of your car’s age or mileage.[2]
If an auto accident or other incident damages your vehicle, Chubb will pay to have it restored to its pre-claim condition. And if you need a rental car while your car is being repaired, you have coverage up to $15,000 with no per-day limit. This allows you to rent a similar vehicle to the one you already own.
Chubb also sells classic car insurance for vehicles at least 30 years old or from a limited production model.[3] To qualify, you must garage your vehicle or only use it as a hobby vehicle, but Chubb won’t put any mileage restrictions on the vehicle. However, the company doesn’t offer coverage for motorcycles or other types of vehicles.
How Chubb rates compare to competitors
Because Chubb specializes in auto coverage for classic car owners and people with expensive vehicles, the company has higher average premiums than many competitors. But Chubb provides a level of coverage that may feel worth it if you have a high-value or classic vehicle.
