CSE Insurance Group (formerly the Civil Service Employees Insurance Group) was an American provider of property and casualty insurance, based in Walnut Creek, California. It was founded in 1949 in San Francisco, before becoming a subsidiary of the French insurer Covéa. CSE stopped writing new business in 2023–2024 and was sold to Compre Group in April 2025.
Both channels market the products: homeowners, auto, landlords, boat, liability, commercial and umbrella insurance. Areas of operation include Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Washington, D.C. CSE owns and markets a trademarked auto insurance product called SAVE (Savings Advantage by Vehicle) whereby drivers pay for the exact miles they drive during that year.
The company is a subsidiary of the Covéa Insurance Group (Société de Groupe d'Assurance Mutuelle Covéa) headquartered in Paris, France.
CSE was founded in 1949 in San Francisco, California by Nelson Nichols. Originally, the company served only firefighters, police officers, postal workers and other government employees.
