Minimum California Auto Insurance

In order to license your car in the sate of California youre only required to have liability insurance. This pays for damage to another persons car or property when youre at fault in an accident. It also pays for any medical expenses they or their passengers may incur, and compensates them for pain and suffering.

Liability Coverage

The minimum liability coverage in California is 15/30/5. That means you need to have $15,000 coverage for injuries to any one person in the other car, $30,000 coverage for injuries to all persons in the other car, and $5,000 coverage for damage to the other persons car or property.

If you dont have a lot of assets the minimum liability coverage may be enough, but if you have assets you want to protect from a lawsuit, you should increase your liability insurance to cover them.

Optional Coverages

Collision - This pays for repairs to your car no matter who was at fault. If you drive an older car thats not worth much, consider eliminating this coverage. If you drive a late model car you can save money by increasing your deductible.

Comprehensive - This pays for damage done to your car by anything other than a collision - fire, vandalism, theft, hail, etc. If you have an older car you may want to skip this coverage. If you drive a newer car, increase your deductible to save on your premium.

Personal Injury Protection - This pays for you and your passengers medical bills when youre involved in an accident. If you already have medical insurance you can consider doing without this coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist - This pays for you and your passengers medical expenses and damage to your car caused by an uninsured, underinsured, or hit-and-run driver. One-quarter of the drivers in California are driving without a license, so this is good insurance to have.
