Principles for compiling the insurer’s rating of motor third party liability insurance

The first thing you need to remember, This is what you can only cooperate with companies that are members of the Russian Association of Auto Insurers (RSA). This is one of the basic guarantees that the organization is not a sharashka office. It can be checked on the official website of the RSA, where there are lists that indicate members of the association, as well as selections of companies that have left or are excluded from the SAR, so they are not entitled to full-fledged insurance.

Select from member companies SAR best profile research of rating agencies (RA) allows. These are private organizations that, based on their own methods, annually compile ratings on the reliability of insurance companies. Interestingly, the request to assess their own activities comes from the insurers themselves – it’s a paid service, and for the analysis it takes a huge amount of financial documents that the rating agency can only get at the will of the SC.

The insurance company, evaluated by the rating agency, receives a certain reliability class. It testifies to the extent to which the organization is able to fulfill insurance obligations to clients and cover its financial expenses arising in the course of activities. The reliability class is a serious indicator that should be trusted, it is taken into account even by state institutions in the process of accreditation and regulation of SC activities.

The most authoritative rating agency of Russia is Expert RA, the materials of which we will use in this Article. The rating scale for this agency consists of 4 levels:

• Class “A” – high reliability;
• Class “B” – medium reliability;
• Class “C” – low reliability;
• Class “D” – the potential for technical default;
• Class “E” – issued to companies that have recognized their bankruptcy, lost their license for the right to insurance activities or liquidated organizations.

In the direction of the organizations that have been assigned classes E and D, one should not even look – cooperation with them will not bring anything good. The most interesting are insurers with reliability class A, B and, with a stretch, C. Each of these classes is divided into 2 grades, with one or two pluses that indicate the position of the insurer in its segment.

For example :

• “A ++” is the highest (exclusive rating) reliability that only SC can get, “A +” – very high reliability rating
• “B ++” – acceptable, “B +” – sufficient, “B” – satisfactory reliability
• “C ++” – low, “C +” – very low, “C” – unsatisfactory (pre-default) reliability.

The rating agency Expert RA analyzes the activities of the insurance company and issues a certificate of receipt of a certain reliability class that remains valid for one calendar year.

However, when examining ratings from expert agencies, it is worth considering , That the level of reliability of SCs in them is determined through an analysis of the financial stability of the company, that is, based on how stable the long-term period the insurer fulfills all its financial obligations. But this does not say anything about the quality of his services and the approach to cooperation with clients.

In order to have full information, along with official ratings it makes sense to study customer feedback about the insurance Company. Therefore, we have separately prepared for you a user rating of insurance companies 2017 OSAGO, which was able to do analysis of many specialized forums and Internet resources.
