What type of auto insurance do I need?

We take a different approach when it comes to auto insurance. We offer Basic™ coverage to simply cover others on the road. Extended™ coverage so that you have and your passengers have coverage. Complete™ coverage that combines Basic, Extended, and then adds that extra coverage needed to fully cover the vehicle you drive.

If your vehicle is financed, you will need to carry Comprehensive and Collision coverage with a deductible of no more than $1,000.

If you are a homeowner or sole proprietor, you should carry a minimum liability limit of $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident. As to avoid having a lien put against your property or business assets after a car accident where you, your spouse or children are at fault.

If you have teens, you should be looking at a policy that has the flexibility to automatically cover your permit drivers.

If you use your vehicle for business purposes like a real estate professional does or for gigs like Uber & Lyft, you should be looking at a policy with that coverage extension.

What should I look for when getting auto insurance?
We recognize that the process of selecting the right auto insurance can be complex, and we want to help ensure you are making an informed decision. Not all insurance companies and agencies operate with the same standards, which is why it is essential to ask the right questions.
When evaluating your options, here are critical questions you should ask before purchasing your next car insurance policy:
* Will I have the choice of my own repair shop?
* Will there be coverage if someone else drives my vehicle? If so, will the coverage limits remain the same as mine, or will they be reduced?
* Does the policy cover rental cars when I am on vacation or when my vehicle is in the shop for service?
* Will my teenager be automatically covered once they receive their learner’s permit?
* Am I required to list every licensed driver who lives in my household and or those 15 years or older regardless if they drive or not?
* What are my responsibilities as the insured party to the insurance company?
* If I use my vehicle for business, have a side gig, or add signage, will there be coverage?

What is the minimum auto insurance I need in California?
Mandatory auto insurance requirements in California, effective January 1, 2025.
As of that date, California state law requires the following minimum liability coverage limits:
* $30,000 for injury or death of one person.
* $60,000 for total injuries or deaths in one accident.
* $15,000 for property damage of others.
Additionally, vehicle registration is now tied directly to insurance coverage. If your insurance lapses, your vehicle registration will be suspended, and your vehicle may be impounded if parked on a public road.
Please be aware of the serious penalties for driving uninsured. If you are involved in an accident that results in injury or property damage exceeding $1,000 without valid insurance, the California DMV will suspend your license. Reinstating your driving privileges would then require you to file an SR-22 certification with your insurer and pay significant reinstatement fees, ultimately costing far more than maintaining continuous coverage.
Please ensure your policy meets these new state minimums to remain compliant and avoid these penalties.

Can regular car insurance cover my business vehicle?

We wanted to remind you that all Personal Auto policies include limitations regarding the type of vehicle and its allowed usage.
It is important to note that an unendorsed personal car insurance policy will **not** properly cover a vehicle used for commercial purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, using your vehicle for a “gig economy” service (e.g., Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Postmates), carrying tools or equipment (such as toolboxes or ladders), working in real estate, or displaying commercial signage on your vehicle’s doors or windows.
If you use your vehicle for any commercial activity, please contact us to discuss the appropriate endorsements needed to ensure you have proper coverage.
