Franke und Bornberg insurance ratings
Overview
The rating agency Franke und Bornberg has released evaluations for different insurance sectors in Germany.
In October, a rating of private health insurance (PKV) identified significant quality disparities among 799 evaluated tariffs. Only 9.3 percent achieved the highest rating of FFF+ (“excellent”), while nearly half did not exceed a “satisfactory” rating. Some tariffs received a grade of F+ (“sufficient”) due to a failure to cover transportation costs for outpatient therapies, a factor deemed critical for seriously ill policyholders.
In November, the agency released its 2026 motor insurance rating, evaluating 325 tariffs from 77 insurers. In this sector, 28.3 percent of tariffs achieved the FFF+ rating. Approximately 20.9 percent received a grade of F+ or lower. A notable weakness in many lower-rated partial coverage policies was the lack of protection for non-game animals, such as horses or dogs, despite data indicating these animals are involved in a significant portion of animal-related accidents.
