Why our Smart Score matters

Chubb’s Smart Score of 77 was created by combining weighted averages of ratings for customer service, claims process, and value for price from 3rd party sources as well as our own research. We view these as the most important factors since they cover the entire experience of shopping for, maintaining, and making a claim on an insurance policy.


How our Smart Score is calculated

Data comes from customer reviews, officially filed complaints, financial stability data, and other insurance industry rating companies. Combining these metrics and sources provides the most accurate and broad-based analysis of what matters most when considering Chubb’s overall quality compared to other home insurers. While there is some overlap between our three primary metrics, each has unique characteristics that set them apart from each other.

Chubb Home Official Complaints

Home Official Complaints

Better than average

Tracks how many more or less official complaints Chubb has than average. With an index of 0.17 Chubb is better than average.


The complaint index comes from two variables for each year and type of insurance.

  • The percentage of how many complaints Chubb has filed against them with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) compared to the total number of complaints filed with every company.

  • The percentage of how much insurance business (total policy premiums) Chubb has compared to the total amount of business of all the other companies.

By weighting complaints and business against their totals, and then dividing share of compliants by share of the market, we get the index value. With 1.0 being an average number of complaints, a 0.5 would be half as many complaints. With an index of 0.17 Chubb is better than average.

Chubb Coverage Options

When it comes to their home, everyone has a different situation and differing needs for protection. While every home insurer offers the same standard coverages. they tend to differ when it comes to what they offer or optional additional protections. Below we list and describe all the extras offered by Chubb

Optional
Standard
Available OptionWhat it means
Additional Insured

The additional insured endorsement extends the liability portion (Coverage E) of your homeowner policy to others living in the home who are not related by blood, marriage, or adoption. It can also apply to those not living with you but who have partial ownership of the property. For example, if your girlfriend's dog bites someone and she gets sued, this endorsement would allow her to make a claim on your policy to cover the costs.

Assisted Living

Generally, this endorsement just extends coverage to personal property that a family member has in an assisted living facility. Some insurers also reimburse a portion of the additional living expenses if your loved one is temporarily displaced.

Business Pursuits

Standard liability coverage protects you and your family against bodily injury or property damage claims made by others. However, this coverage extends only to your personal liability, not your business liability. This endorsement removes that exclusion, thereby providing coverage for harm resulting from business pursuits. Some businesses may not be eligible for this endorsement, depending on the state and insurer.

Child Care Liability

This niche endorsement offers some protection from potential lawsuits and damages for those that operate daycares from home. They cover liability (bodily injury and property damage claims from others). Some policies also cover damages to your personal property. Certain states may also require separate daycare insurance.

Computer

Like Scheduled Property, this endorsement provides additional coverage for households with expensive (or multiple) computers. A standard policy will provide some protection, but this extends it. Keep in mind; this is not a warranty. If a laptop simply malfunctions, coverage likely won't apply with most insurers. External damage from risks like fire, theft, and lightning surges are more what it covers.

Debris Removal

While many homeowners insurance policies cover some amount of debris removal after a covered loss, they tend to limit how much they will pay. This endorsement raises those limits on the standard policy. For insurers who don't offer debris removal by default, this endorsement enables such coverage.

Electronic Data Recovery

This endorsement covers the cost of recovering lost personal computer data caused by a loss.

Chubb Home Discounts

While all companies offer a range of home insurance discounts, it's hard to judge any individual discount's value in a meaningful way. For one, the discounts are typically a percentage off the base price, instead of the whole policy.

What does this mean?

Your best bet is to directly discuss your particular situation with an agent to make sure you're getting all the discounts that you may be eligible for on your home policy. For reference, we've listed all the discounts we believe Chubb has below in order to help determine which ones may fit your profile (though keep in mind that they can vary by state).

Available OptionDiscount DataWhat it means
Building Code

1% to 15%

Generally applies when a home is confirmed to match a particular set of building codes. The rules for what qualifies and by how much vary by insurer and state.

Burglar Alarm

5% to 25%

When homes are protected with alarms, the likelihood of theft drops. Security systems that report their alarms to a monitoring service or the police provide heftier discounts.

Claim-free

5% to 5%

When a homeowner has not had any claims, it's a sign to insurers that they are less likely to make one in the future. With this lower risk profile, insurers can offer savings. The look-back window is almost always five years, but some insurers only look back three years or offer the discount on a sliding scale.
