Filing Description:
On behalf of KnightBrook Insurance Company (“the Company”), we are submitting this filing to introduce a new Auto Rental
Excess Liability Program.
The Auto Rental Excess Liability Program will be marketed to commercial automobile rental companies. Under this program,
Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) is offered at the rental counter, to customers of the insured. This coverage provides
supplemental bodily injury and property damage liability coverage for rented vehicles above the minimum financial
responsibility limits to the selected combined single limit with an hourly rate component for hourly rentals.
As this is a new program for KnightBrook Insurance Company, and the Company does not have its own experience off of
which to base its rates, this program is based on that of Empire Fire and Marine Insurance Company approved under State
Tracking number 11-7983.
This program was previously filed under State Tracking Number 12-4799, but was rejected at intake due to the failure to
provide the Countrywide direct earned premium for lines of business subject to Proposition 103 by the due date for the
response. Please note that this information is now included on page 13 of this application.
Included with this filing is authorization for Perr & Knight to submit this filing on behalf of the Company. All correspondence
related to this filing should be directed to Perr & Knight. The Company has prepared the materials contained in this filing. If
there are any requests for additional information related to materials prepared by the Company, we will forward the request
immediately to the Company’s contact. We will submit the Company’s response to your attention as soon as we receive it.
We request either your acknowledgement or approval of this filing with an effective date for new and renewal business at the
earliest possible date allowed under your state filing laws.

Comment: Only the changes specifically indicated in the application set forth above, as it may have been amended, are approved. Nothing in this letter shall constitute
approval of any other application, whether incorporated by reference, or filed prior or subsequent to the application set forth above. The insurer shall begin issuing
policies pursuant to this approval within 90 days of the date of this approval, provided that the insurer is licensed in California to transact the line of insurance for which

Insurance Commissioner.
If any portion of the application or related documentation conflicts with California law, that portion is specifically not approved. This approval does not constitute an
approval of underwriting guidelines nor the specific language, coverages, terms, covenants and conditions contained in any forms, or the forms themselves. Policy
forms and underwriting guidelines included in this filing were reviewed only insofar as they relate to rates contained in this filing or currently on file with the California
Department of Insurance. Any subsequent changes to underwriting guidelines or coverage, terms, covenants and conditions contained in any forms must be submitted
with supporting documentation where those changes result in any rating impact. The Commissioner may at any time take any action allowed by law if he determines
that any underwriting guidelines, forms or procedures for application of rates, or any other portions of the application conflict with any applicable laws or regulations.

3. In developing the rates for the program, we relied on Empire Fire and Marine filing number 11-7983; however, the information available to us contained only Empires rates
and not their forms. As such, KnightBrook developed the forms filed for this program. We used as reference the forms promulgated in Texas for this type of coverage, since
they are tailored specifically for this product.

Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) – Underwriting Guidelines
The Supplemental Liability Insurance program, SLI, is a commercial automobile policy issued to rental car
companies, and underwritten on an individual account basis. This coverage is then offered over the
counter to customers of the insured. It provides third party liability protection excess of the minimum
required state limits, and up to the selected limit.
There are several qualifying factors for the rental car operator that wishes to obtain an SLI policy. The
rental company must complete and sign an application and submit it for review along with a copy of
their current fleet list, past three year loss runs, copy of limited insurance license, and copy of rental
agreement with appropriate SLI language. The application and loss runs are reviewed and qualified
prior to issuing the policy.
The applicant must have at least three years of rental car experience. In the event that this is a new
operator, we require copy of resume and / or references contingent with their past business experience.
All rental operators must also have internet access in order to report electronically or must be affiliated
with an accepted rental software provider such as Bluebird or TSD. The average fleet age must not be
more than five years old. The three year loss runs are evaluated on a combined basis, and the loss ratio
cannot exceed 60%. If the loss ratio is greater than 60%, we consider the account a high risk and do not
accept it.

IDENTIFY THE BASES FOR VARIANCE - Refer to CCR 2644.27 (f) for the full regulation text.
1. Relief from the efficiency standard for bona fide loss-prevention and loss reduction activities.
3. The leverage factor should be different from the leverage factor determined pursuant to section 2644.17 on the basis that the insurer either writes at least 90%
of its direct earned premium in one line or writes at least 90% of its direct earned premium in California, and its mix of business presents investment risks
different from the risks that are typical of the line as a whole.
4. Relief from operation of the efficiency standard for a line of insurance in which the insurer has never written over $1 million in earned premium annually and
the insurer is making a substantial investment in order to enter the market.
5. The minimum permitted earned premium should be lower on the basis of the insurer's certification that the rate will not cause the insurer's financial condition
to present an undue risk to its solvency.
6. The insurer's financial condition is such that its maximum permitted earned premium should be increased in order to protect solvency.
7. The loss development formula in CCR 2644.6 does not produce an actuarially sound result because:
D. There are changes in coverage or other policy terms that significantly affect the data; or,
E. There are changes in the law that significantly affect the data.
F. There is a significant increase or decrease in the amount of business written or significant changes in the mix of business.
A. There is a significant increase/decrease in the amount of business written or changes in the mix of business:
B. There are not enough years of data to calculate the trend factor;
C There is a significant change in the law affecting frequency or severity of claims;
D It can be shown that a trend calculated over a period of at least 4 quarters other than a period permitted pursuant to section
2644.7(b) is more reliable prospectively.
E. There are changes in the insurer's claims closing practices that significantly affect the data; or,
F. There are changes in coverage or other policy terms that significantly affect the data.
Not withstanding any other section of these regulations, the aggregate total adjustment to the
efficiency standard for all variances combined shall not exceed the difference between the Most Recent
insurer's most recent year total expense ratio excluding defense and cost containment Year Total
expenses and the efficiency standard. Expense Ratio %

The LCM Template spreadsheet must be completed for those rate filing submissions where the filed
line or coverage utilizes a Loss Cost Multiplier. Examples include new or existing program rate
filings that involve the adoption of Advisory Organization loss costs, and existing program rate
filings where the LCM is being revised.
There are a number of data cells on the LCM Template spreadsheet that automatically populate
either by reference to cells on other spreadsheets or by formula calculation. However there are five
lines within the LCM Template spreadsheet for which additional data entry is required. The first
three data entry items pertain to rate filing submissions that include an adoption of Advisory
Organization loss costs. The last two data entry items are required only for existing programs.
Complete the following for existing and new program rate filings when Advisory
Organization loss costs are being adopted:
Spreadsheet Item #1.1 CDI Filing Number – Please enter the CDI filing number of the
Advisory Organization loss cost filing being adopted. If additional loss cost updates are being
covered, please also identify the CDI filing number(s) of the additional loss cost updates being
covered.
Spreadsheet Item #1.2 Loss Cost Percent Change Approved for the Line or Coverage –
Please enter the CDI percent change approved for the Advisory Organization loss cost filing
identified as Item #1.1. If multiple loss cost updates are being covered, identify the
cumulative percent change approved.
Spreadsheet Item #1.3 AOE or LAE Load Approved for the Line or Coverage – As identified
within the Advisory Organization loss cost filing entered as Item #1.1, please indicate the type
of AOE or LAE expense loading the Advisory Organization used in its loss cost filingand
enter the load amount.
Complete the following for existing programs only; do not complete the following for new
program filings:
Spreadsheet Item #2.1 Current Expense Based LCM – Please enter the current expense based
LCM for the filed line/coverage.
Spreadsheet Item #2.2 Current Loss Cost Modification Expressed as a Factor – Please enter
the current Loss Cost Modification Factor applicable to the current expense based LCM.
Spreadsheet Item #4 calculates the Advisory Organization’s AOE as a percent of loss and DCCE.
Spreadsheet Item #5 calculates the maximum CDI allowable expense based LCM for the filed
line/coverage.
Spreadsheet Item #6 calculates the maximum CDI allowable loss cost modification factor for the
filed line/coverage.
Spreadsheet Item #7 calculates the maximum CDI allowable Final LCM for the filed
line/coverage. If the Insurer’s current Final LCM (Item #3) and/or proposed Final LCM is greater
than the Max Final LCM (Item #7), the Insurer will need to reduce its Final LCM so that it is no
greater than the CDI calculated maximum allowable Final LCM. Otherwise, exceeding the CDI
calculated maximum allowable Final LCM will require the filing of a Variance.

FILING MEMORANDUM
With this filing, KnightBrook Insurance Company is proposing to introduce a new Supplemental Rental
Liability Program.
The Supplemental Rental Liability Program will be marketed to commercial automobile rental companies.
Under this program, Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) is offered at the rental counter, to customers
of the insured. This coverage provides supplemental bodily injury and property damage liability coverage
for rented vehicles above the minimum financial responsibility limits to the selected combined single limit
with an hourly rate component for hourly rentals.
As this is a new program for KnightBrook Insurance Company, and the Company does not have its own
experience off of which to base its rates, this program is based on that of Empire Fire and Marine
Insurance Company, approved under State Tracking number 11-7983.

IDENTIFY THE BASES FOR VARIANCE - Refer to CCR 2644.27 (f) for the full regulation text.
1. Relief from the efficiency standard for bona fide loss-prevention and loss reduction activities.
3. The leverage factor should be different from the leverage factor determined pursuant to section 2644.17 on the basis that the insurer either writes at least 90%
of its direct earned premium in one line or writes at least 90% of its direct earned premium in California, and its mix of business presents investment risks
different from the risks that are typical of the line as a whole.
4. Relief from operation of the efficiency standard for a line of insurance in which the insurer has never written over $1 million in earned premium annually and
the insurer is making a substantial investment in order to enter the market.
5. The minimum permitted earned premium should be lower on the basis of the insurer's certification that the rate will not cause the insurer's financial condition
to present an undue risk to its solvency.
6. The insurer's financial condition is such that its maximum permitted earned premium should be increased in order to protect solvency.
7. The loss development formula in CCR 2644.6 does not produce an actuarially sound result because:
D. There are changes in coverage or other policy terms that significantly affect the data; or,
E. There are changes in the law that significantly affect the data.
F. There is a significant increase or decrease in the amount of business written or significant changes in the mix of business.
A. There is a significant increase/decrease in the amount of business written or changes in the mix of business:
B. There are not enough years of data to calculate the trend factor;
C There is a significant change in the law affecting frequency or severity of claims;
D It can be shown that a trend calculated over a period of at least 4 quarters other than a period permitted pursuant to section
2644.7(b) is more reliable prospectively.
E. There are changes in the insurer's claims closing practices that significantly affect the data; or,
F. There are changes in coverage or other policy terms that significantly affect the data.
Not withstanding any other section of these regulations, the aggregate total adjustment to the
efficiency standard for all variances combined shall not exceed the difference between the Most Recent
insurer's most recent year total expense ratio excluding defense and cost containment Year Total
expenses and the efficiency standard. Expense Ratio %

Identify the extent or amount of the variance requested and the applicable component of the ratemaking formula. [ Complete Exhibit 13 ]
3. Set forth the expected result or impact on the maximum and minimum permitted earned premium that the granting of the variance will have as compared to the expected result if the variance
is denied. [ Complete Exhibit 13 ]
4.
IMPORTANT: Identify the facts and their source justifying the variance request and provide the documentation supporting the amount of the change to the component of the ratemaking
formula. (Complete Exhibit 13)
IDENTIFY THE BASES FOR VARIANCE - Refer to CCR 2644.27 (f) for the full regulation text.
1. Relief from the efficiency standard for bona fide loss-prevention and loss reduction activities.
3. The leverage factor should be different from the leverage factor determined pursuant to section 2644.17 on the basis that the insurer either writes at least 90%
of its direct earned premium in one line or writes at least 90% of its direct earned premium in California, and its mix of business presents investment risks
different from the risks that are typical of the line as a whole.
4. Relief from operation of the efficiency standard for a line of insurance in which the insurer has never written over $1 million in earned premium annually and
the insurer is making a substantial investment in order to enter the market.
5. The minimum permitted earned premium should be lower on the basis of the insurer's certification that the rate will not cause the insurer's financial condition
to present an undue risk to its solvency.
6. The insurer's financial condition is such that its maximum permitted earned premium should be increased in order to protect solvency.
7. The loss development formula in CCR 2644.6 does not produce an actuarially sound result because:
D. There are changes in coverage or other policy terms that significantly affect the data; or,
E. There are changes in the law that significantly affect the data.
F. There is a significant increase or decrease in the amount of business written or significant changes in the mix of business.
A. There is a significant increase/decrease in the amount of business written or changes in the mix of business:
B. There are not enough years of data to calculate the trend factor;
C There is a significant change in the law affecting frequency or severity of claims;
D It can be shown that a trend calculated over a period of at least 4 quarters other than a period permitted pursuant to section
2644.7(b) is more reliable prospectively.
E. There are changes in the insurer's claims closing practices that significantly affect the data; or,
F. There are changes in coverage or other policy terms that significantly affect the data.
Not withstanding any other section of these regulations, the aggregate total adjustment to the
efficiency standard for all variances combined shall not exceed the difference between the Most Recent
insurer's most recent year total expense ratio excluding defense and cost containment Year Total
expenses and the efficiency standard. Expense Ratio %

The LCM Template spreadsheet must be completed for those rate filing submissions where the filed
line or coverage utilizes a Loss Cost Multiplier. Examples include new or existing program rate
filings that involve the adoption of Advisory Organization loss costs, and existing program rate
filings where the LCM is being revised.
There are a number of data cells on the LCM Template spreadsheet that automatically populate
either by reference to cells on other spreadsheets or by formula calculation. However there are five
lines within the LCM Template spreadsheet for which additional data entry is required. The first
three data entry items pertain to rate filing submissions that include an adoption of Advisory
Organization loss costs. The last two data entry items are required only for existing programs.
Complete the following for existing and new program rate filings when Advisory
Organization loss costs are being adopted:
Spreadsheet Item #1.1 CDI Filing Number – Please enter the CDI filing number of the
Advisory Organization loss cost filing being adopted. If additional loss cost updates are being
covered, please also identify the CDI filing number(s) of the additional loss cost updates being
covered.
Spreadsheet Item #1.2 Loss Cost Percent Change Approved for the Line or Coverage –
Please enter the CDI percent change approved for the Advisory Organization loss cost filing
identified as Item #1.1. If multiple loss cost updates are being covered, identify the
cumulative percent change approved.
Spreadsheet Item #1.3 AOE or LAE Load Approved for the Line or Coverage – As identified
within the Advisory Organization loss cost filing entered as Item #1.1, please indicate the type
of AOE or LAE expense loading the Advisory Organization used in its loss cost filingand
enter the load amount.
Complete the following for existing programs only; do not complete the following for new
program filings:
Spreadsheet Item #2.1 Current Expense Based LCM – Please enter the current expense based
LCM for the filed line/coverage.
Spreadsheet Item #2.2 Current Loss Cost Modification Expressed as a Factor – Please enter
the current Loss Cost Modification Factor applicable to the current expense based LCM.
Spreadsheet Item #4 calculates the Advisory Organization’s AOE as a percent of loss and DCCE.
Spreadsheet Item #5 calculates the maximum CDI allowable expense based LCM for the filed
line/coverage.
Spreadsheet Item #6 calculates the maximum CDI allowable loss cost modification factor for the
filed line/coverage.
Spreadsheet Item #7 calculates the maximum CDI allowable Final LCM for the filed
line/coverage. If the Insurer’s current Final LCM (Item #3) and/or proposed Final LCM is greater
than the Max Final LCM (Item #7), the Insurer will need to reduce its Final LCM so that it is no
greater than the CDI calculated maximum allowable Final LCM. Otherwise, exceeding the CDI
calculated maximum allowable Final LCM will require the filing of a Variance.
