Bankrate's take
Policyholders with lower credit scores may consider CURE as their company of choice, since CURE does not factor credit score, occupation or education level as insurance rating factors.
Drivers in CURE's three-state coverage area who have a poor credit history or feel that their occupation or education level may negatively impact their premium.

CURE car insurance cost
Auto insurance premiums are based on individual rating factors such as the make and model of your vehicle, your driving record, claims history and the amount of coverage you purchase, so the actual cost of your policy will differ for every driver. CURE’s policies may be appealing to drivers with poor credit histories, as CURE does not use credit as a rating factor. CURE also doesn't consider occupation or education level in premium rating.
CURE car insurance discounts
Although CURE car insurance is a back-to-basics provider, the company does offer a few competitive discounts. You may want to check with an insurance provider to ensure that each of these discounts is available in your state and double check that you’re eligible.
Compare CURE with other insurers
If you’re still unsure whether CURE is the right company for you, it may be helpful to compare it to a few different carriers.

Is CURE a good insurance company?
Bankrate’s CURE insurance review determined that it may be a good insurance company for those looking for a company that doesn’t factor in credit history, occupation or education level when calculating insurance premiums. However, the company only offers auto insurance, so you may want to look elsewhere if you’re looking for a company that offers additional product lines. CURE offers basic auto insurance options with several discounts. If you believe in the company’s mission of reducing discrimination in auto insurance, you may want to consider CURE.
CURE customer satisfaction
When assessing insurance companies, Bankrate's insurance editorial team looks at third-party ratings or scores, which can help when determining how well they perform in certain areas. Some trustworthy sources of these ratings include J.D. Power, AM Best and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
J.D. Power rates companies based on how satisfied customers are with their claims and overall customer service. However, J.D. Power typically focuses on the largest companies by market share. Since CURE is a fairly small regional insurer, it is not rated in J.D. Power's 2022 or 2023 customer satisfaction study. AM Best provides financial strength ratings, which represent the historical ability of a company to meet their financial obligations. CURE has not earned a rating from AM Best, either. Prospective customers may want to speak with existing policyholders about their customer and claims experience.
CURE customer complaints
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) tracks customer complaints against insurance companies. These complaints are leveraged against the company's size to calculate complaint indexes by product type. The benchmark index is 1.0. Any number higher than 1.0 indicates that a company receives more complaints than expected for its size, while an index below 1.0 means the company receives fewer complaints than expected.
CURE auto complaints
As you can see from the chart below, CURE's NAIC Complaint Index for its private passenger auto product has risen steadily over the past four years. This may indicate that customers are becoming less satisfied with the carrier's level of service. Speaking with existing policyholders may help you decide if the company's level of service could meet your expectations.
Other CURE tools and benefits
CURE auto insurance does not offer any insurance or financial products other than auto coverage. The carrier doesn’t offer a mobile app either, which may be a let down for tech-savvy shoppers. However, the carrier does offer online quoting and a customer portal on their website. The company also offers the following tools and benefits that may interest potential customers:
- Referral program: CURE's referral program allows policyholders to earn rewards for bringing friends and family to CURE.
- Direct Repair Shops: CURE's catalog of Direct Repair Shops may help customers more quickly find a reputable shop for vehicle repairs and may help expedite the claims process.
