What to Compare?

There are several factors to consider when comparing Fresno providers. You'll want to compare price, of course, but this shouldn't be your only deciding factor. Also, check out the amount of coverage being offered and the types of coverage available. If you see a cheap price with one company that offers liability and collision coverage, then make sure the other company offers the same. Then you'll want to compare the prices using various deductibles. The higher the deductible you choose, then the lower your premium quote will be with most providers.

If you're comparing for family members, keep in mind that providers may cater to certain types of drivers. You might get a great rate because you're older and have a safe driving record. Your family member, however, might get a much higher rate from the same company because of a speeding ticket or traffic accident. If you have a teenage driver, you'll definitely want to check with multiple companies. Many providers jack up the price automatically for teens!

Making the Most of Your Search

Choose providers wisely and then research using online resources such as A.M. Best and Better Business Bureau to ensure you're working with a reliable company. The provider should be established (from a financial standpoint) and have good customer service ratings and reviews. If not, then it might not be worth the cheaper premium. Also, ask about discounts that might be available to you and other family members. These can save you a bundle every year.

Liability Laws to Consider

No matter which provider you choose, you'll have to purchase at least the minimum liability amounts as required by the state of California. For Bodily Injury liability, the coverage requirements are $15,000 per individual and $30,000 per accident. For Property Damage coverage, the amount is $5,000. Liability coverage protects you financially if you cause a wreck. But keep in mind that the policy will only pay out up to the amount of liability you choose. So it's wise to purchase above the required amount if possible.
