CA primer

What you need to know about California auto insurance

California requires 15/30/5 minimum liability coverage.

Prop 103 prevents carriers from using credit scores to set rates.

California is one of 12 states that ban gender-based pricing.

Uninsured motorist coverage is offered but not required.

California drivers benefit most from comparing rates every 6 months at renewal — not annually. Carriers re-rate each renewal cycle, and your premium can shift even when nothing about your driving record changed. The single biggest predictor of overpayment is staying with the same carrier 3+ years without re-shopping. Our comparison engine surfaces 12+ carriers writing in your specific ZIP at once.
