CCC Processes Record Number of Total Loss Transactions for December

          Claims Processed in December Establishes New Industry Mark

    CHICAGO, Jan. 13 -- CCC Information Services Inc.
, the leading provider of solutions to the automotive claims
industry, today announced that the company's December 1998 total loss business
has established a new company record for claims transactions processed for the
month of December.  The company exceeded the previous record for December
established in 1997.
    CCC pioneered a methodology for establishing vehicle valuations in 1980
based on surveys of local market prices performed at dealership used car lots.
The company regularly surveys used vehicle prices at over 4,400 locations
throughout the U.S. and Canada and for more than 17 years has been the
automotive claims industry leader in electronic vehicle valuation services
used to settle total loss claims.  The computerized valuation process bases
vehicle values on a database of over 450,000 current vehicle price records.
CCC has valued more than 26 million vehicles since 1980.
    "We are delighted with December results, which reflect our customers'
continued confidence in our vehicle valuation services," said Rich Radi,
Executive Vice President of CCC's Insurance Division.  "The fact that we were
able to improve market penetration and grow the business in a month that was
characterized by unseasonably mild weather demonstrates CCC's continued market
leadership in total loss valuation services."
    CCC produces accurate, market-specific values using a unique computerized
valuation process that leverages the industry's most extensive database of
inspected vehicle inventory.  The valuations are supported by the industry's
largest field service operation with representatives that regularly service
over 13,000 claims offices.  Further support is provided at the company's
state-of-the-art telephone servicing facility in Sioux Falls, S.D.
