California Auto Insurance Requirements

A street in Anaheim, California

Like most states, California requires all drivers to have at least minimum car insurance coverage. As of Jan. 1, 2025, California law mandates 30/60/15 minimum coverage limits.[4] Here’s what that means:

Keep in mind that California’s updated minimums are significantly higher than its previous 15/30/5 limits.

While California doesn’t require you to purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, insurers must offer it to all policyholders.[5] If you don’t want UM/UIM insurance, you’ll need to sign a waiver to decline it.

Is minimum coverage enough in Anaheim?

Insurance professionals typically recommend drivers carry 100/300/100 levels of liability insurance for greater financial protection from at-fault accidents. The California Department of Insurance highlights that higher coverage limits can provide better financial protection if you get in a serious accident.

Additionally, if you finance or lease your vehicle, lenders typically require comprehensive insurance and collision coverage.

Consider this: If you cause an accident resulting in $25,000 in property damage but have only the $15,000 state-minimum coverage, you’d be personally responsible for the remaining $10,000.
