Questions drivers ask us

Straight answers about California auto insurance. Anything else, just call.

What are the minimum auto insurance requirements in California?

California law requires drivers to carry at least 30/60/15 liability coverage: $30,000 for bodily injury per person, $60,000 for bodily injury per accident, and $15,000 for property damage.

What is an SR-22, and when do I need one?

An SR-22 is a certificate proving you carry the state-required auto insurance. It's usually required after a DUI, an at-fault accident, or a license suspension. It isn't a policy itself. Your insurer files it with the DMV so you can get your driving privileges back.

Can I get car insurance if I have a DUI or multiple tickets?

Yes. Several of the carriers we work with cover high-risk drivers, including those with DUIs or traffic violations. Finding affordable options for drivers in these situations is one of the things we do most.

What's the difference between liability and full coverage?

Liability covers damage and injuries you cause to others, but not your own vehicle. Full coverage adds comprehensive and collision, which protect your car against accidents, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters.

How does uninsured motorist coverage work?

Uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage pay for your damages when the driver who caused the accident has no insurance, or not enough to cover your losses.

Is car insurance more expensive in California?

California rates run higher than average because of traffic congestion, accident rates, and strict regulations. Comparing several carriers is the most reliable way to find an affordable policy.

Can I get car insurance without a driver's license in California?

Yes. Some of our carriers write policies for unlicensed drivers and for drivers with international licenses. Call us and we'll tell you which options fit.

How can I lower my auto insurance rate?

Keep a clean driving record, bundle auto with other policies, choose a higher deductible, and ask about good-driver and low-mileage discounts. We check every discount you qualify for when we quote.
