Coverage Options

Understanding your coverage options helps you build a policy that protects what matters — without paying for what you don't need.

A woman with long white hair in a cream sweater sits in a car's driver seat, fastening her seat belt, with green trees visible through the window.

Liability InsuranceCalifornia requires $15,000/$30,000/$5,000 minimum liability coverage. Most retirees carry higher limits ($100,000/$300,000) to protect retirement assets from lawsuit exposure.

Collision CoveragePays to repair your car after an accident, minus your deductible. Retirees with vehicles worth under $3,000 often drop collision since premiums exceed potential payout.

Comprehensive CoverageCovers theft, vandalism, weather damage, and animal strikes. California's high theft rate in urban counties makes comprehensive worth keeping even on older vehicles.

Full CoverageCombines liability, collision, comprehensive, and uninsured motorist protection. Retirees with financed vehicles or high-value cars maintain full coverage until the loan is paid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do California rates increase automatically at age 70?

No. California law prohibits age-based rate increases for drivers with clean records. Insurers can only raise your premium based on claims, violations, or credit changes — not your birthday.
