What does car insurance cover?
- Liability: pays for injuries or damage you cause to others. California requires it.
- Collision: helps fix your car after a crash
- Comprehensive: helps with theft, fire, vandalism and weather damage
- Uninsured motorist: helps if the other driver has no insurance or not enough
- Medical payments: helps pay medical bills after a crash
How much car insurance do I need?
California has minimum limits, but the minimum may not be enough. A bad crash can cost far more. We help you pick limits that protect what you own.
Since January 1, 2025, California requires at least $30,000 for one injured person, $60,000 for all injuries in one crash, and $15,000 for property damage. People call this 30/60/15. Many drivers choose higher limits for more protection.

Frequently asked questions
What car insurance is required in California?
California requires liability coverage. We can help you see if the minimum is enough for you.
What is a deductible?
It is the amount you pay before your insurance pays. A higher deductible often means a lower monthly price.

Many policies do, but not all. Check your plan or ask us.
Can I bundle auto and home insurance?
Yes. Bundling can make things simpler and may save money.
Does my car insurance cover other drivers?
Many policies cover people you let drive your car. Rules vary, so check your policy or ask us.
Will my rate go up after a claim?
It can, depending on who was at fault and your history. We can explain how claims may affect your price.
What is uninsured motorist coverage?
It helps pay your costs if you are hit by a driver who has no insurance or not enough insurance.
Coverage is subject to insurer underwriting, approval and policy terms. A quote request does not bind coverage.
