AUTO INSURANCE
Reliable coverage
that keeps you moving.
What does auto insurance actually cover?
California Got Hit Hard – Here's Why (the numbers don't lie):
Car insurance rates in California increased nearly 50% in 2024
Full coverage now costs drivers an average of $2,575 annually (11% more than national average)
Another 12% increase from 2024 to 2025
Commercial Auto: Fleet coverage that actually covers your drivers and cargo
Some drivers are seeing 30%+ increases on their renewals
The Perfect Storm Causing This:
California Doubled Minimum Requirements (Jan 1, 2025)
Previous: $15K per person, $30K per accident, $15K property damage
New: DOUBLED these amounts due to Senate Bill 1107
This alone caused massive rate jumps statewide
The Usual Suspects Got Worse
Inflation is driving up repair costs
More claims are being filed
Higher medical costs for injuries
Supply chain issues are making car parts more expensive
California-Specific Problems
Insurance companies had rates frozen during COVID - now they're catching up all at onceMore claims are being filed
Wildfire risks affecting comprehensive coverage
Uninsured drivers - everyone else pays for them
New Potential Issues
Tariffs could add an estimated $232 more per year by end of 2025
Electric vehicle repair costs are astronomical
