Even if it were not mandated by the state of California (which it is!) it would still be the smart financial move to make. Of course, not all insurance coverage is the same. The last thing you want is to think you&#8217;re covered and then when you go to file a claim, find out you&#8217;ll be paying out of pocket instead. That is why you shouldn&#8217;t just be shopping for car insurance, but rather <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/en\/product\/auto-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">full coverage auto insurance in California<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is<\/b> <b>Full Coverage Auto Insurance in California?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all policy options cover all possible situations and scenarios. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdwallet.com\/article\/insurance\/full-coverage-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full coverage auto insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a term that refers to a combination of coverage types that can protect your car in most situations. When people talk about &#8220;full coverage car insurance,&#8221; what they&#8217;re likely referring to is a combination of coverages that help protect your vehicle as best as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some coverages, like auto liability, are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdwallet.com\/article\/insurance\/minimum-car-insurance-requirements\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">required by state law in California<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Others, for instance rental reimbursement and roadside assistance, are optional. It&#8217;s up to you to choose car insurance that fits your needs and wants, always making sure your coverage meets both California state requirements and helps you protect your car based on your financial situation and lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The state of California requires drivers to carry at least the following auto insurance coverages:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bodily injury <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdwallet.com\/article\/insurance\/auto\/liability-car-insurance\"><b>liability coverage<\/b><\/a><b>:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $15,000 per person \/ $30,000 per accident minimum<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Property damage liability coverage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $5,000 minimum<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $15,000 per person \/ $30,000 per accident minimum<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Uninsured motorist property damage coverage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $3,500 minimum<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these are the minimum coverages California requires you to have, everyone&#8217;s insurance needs are unique. The state minimum coverage won\u2019t cover your injuries or car repairs, only damage or injuries you cause others. In order to truly have full coverage, you&#8217;ll need more than the state minimum. You may decide to opt for Collision coverage, Comprehensive coverage, Rental Reimbursements, Roadside Assistance, Personal Injury Protection (PIP), and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Full Coverage Auto Insurance Through Pronto Insurance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car insurance isn&#8217;t a one-size-fits-all purchase and a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/how-to-lower-your-car-insurance-cost\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">car insurance policy should be customized to fit your needs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
