Addison, Texas – Dealers Assurance Company (DAC) is pleased to announce that AM Best has increased DAC’s Financial Strength Rating to A (Excellent). Prior to this change, DAC’s Financial Strength Rating had been A- (Excellent) since 1986.

“AM Best’s rating upgrade follows years of strong performance where DAC has consistently outperformed its peers in operating ratios, profitability, and total return on equity,” said Kristen Gruber, President of Dealers Assurance Company. “We have steadily grown surplus from sustainable sources, resulting in a very strong level of risk-adjusted capitalization.”
