EX-99.1

             CCC INFORMATION SERVICES GROUP ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT OF
                           INSURANCE COVERAGE DISPUTE

     CHICAGO,  August  16,  2003  - CCC Information Services Group Inc. (Nasdaq:
CCCG  -  News) today announced the settlement of a dispute that had been pending
between  the  company  and  certain  of  its  insurers that had issued insurance
policies  to  the  company  over  the past several years. Under the terms of the
settlement,  which  was  signed  on  August  16, 2004, the insurers will pay the
company  approximately $4.75 million, and the parties have agreed to dismiss the
legal  proceedings  relating  to this matter and to provide mutual releases. The
settlement involved a lawsuit filed by the company's insurers involving coverage
in  connection  with  the  litigation  involving the company's vehicle valuation
product  now  known  as  CCC  Valuescope  Claim  Services.


     The  company  expects to use this settlement, along with previously accrued
charges  and  other  available  insurance  proceeds,  for  defense  costs and/or
settlements  related  to  certain  litigation  involving  CCC  Valuescope  Claim
Services.  The  company  cannot  predict  at  this  time, however, whether total
defense  costs  and/or settlements for this litigation will be more or less than
the  aggregate  amount  of  the current recovery, previously accrued charges and
other  insurance proceeds.  The company also cannot predict at this time whether
any other insurance proceeds will be available for the defense and/or settlement
of  CCC  Valuescope  litigation.
