One of the most common questions drivers ask is how much auto insurance they actually need. While California establishes minimum insurance requirements, the amount of protection that makes sense for you depends on your vehicle, finances, driving habits, and comfort with risk.

Liability Coverage

Liability insurance helps protect you financially if you are responsible for an accident that causes injury or property damage. Choosing appropriate liability limits can be especially important if you have income, savings, property, or other assets to protect.

Collision Coverage

Collision coverage can help pay for damage to your vehicle after a covered accident. Drivers with newer vehicles or financed vehicles may want or be required to carry this protection.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive insurance generally helps protect against certain types of damage that are not caused by a collision, such as theft, vandalism, weather related damage, or falling objects, subject to the terms of the policy.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage

This coverage can provide additional protection if you are involved in an accident with a driver who has little or no insurance. Your agent can explain the available options and how they may apply to your situation.

Finding the Right Balance

The goal is not simply to purchase the most insurance or the cheapest insurance. The goal is to find the right balance between protection and affordability.
