As consumers, there is no better reward than finding the best rate on a product you are required to purchase. California state law requires all drivers on California roadways to carry at least a minimum auto liability insurance policy. The State of California requires all drivers to carry compulsory liability limits of at least $15,000 per person bodily injury, $30,000 total for bodily injury and $5,000 for property damage liability. Of course, a driver may purchase higher limits and additional coverage for an additional premium. Our professional agents can help design an automobile policy that fits your lifestyle and concerns.

Knowing what type of coverage you need is the first step in smart shopping. Possibly, you just need a policy to meet the minimal financial responsibility requirements established under California law. However, you may have a loan on a car and your bank requires you to properly insure your vehicle with Comprehensive and Collision coverage to protect the vehicle's value in the event of an accident.

It's also possible that you have a new car and want to make sure the vehicle will be replaced by a the same type vehicle if it is damaged in an accident. Many of our insurance carriers offer "Guaranteed Replacement Coverage" for your car in the event of a total loss.

Your Orange insurance auto policy price is typically based on the following factors:

Age of the Driver-Obviously less experienced or younger drivers are statistically more likely to have a great number of accidents than more experienced drivers. This can also affect older drivers who may not have the clear vision or the fast reflexes to drive defensively as they had in years past.

Type of Vehicle-This affects your insurance rate in several ways: first, if you are driving a high-performance vehicle, you may be more likely to speed or cause more damage to other parties if you are in an accident. This creates a higher likelihood of liability for the insurance carrier and they surcharge for the increased risk exposure. Secondly, if you are purchasing Comprehensive or Collision coverage with your policy, the insurance company bases the replacement cost of the vehicle in the pricing of your insurance premium. For example, it's much more to replace a Porsche 911 in the event of a total loss than a Ford Escort.

Driving Record and Prior Claims History-Face it, if you have a lot of fender benders in your driving history, you are going to pay more for your auto insurance than someone with a spotless record. Insurance companies exist to make money, and if you have a high frequency of accidents, expect to be surcharged for your driving history.

County, City or Zip Code in which the Vehicle is "Garaged"-This means where the vehicle is customarily parked at night. Some insurance carriers format pricing on a county level, some on a city level and some carriers drill down to the zip code level in their pricing. This is done to in an effort to price statistically for auto theft and claim frequency.

Shopping for the best rates for Orange auto insurance policies is easily accomplished when professional Orange insurance agents and carriers compete for your business and offer you their best rates. Often times consumers lack the information necessary to get the proper coverage for their needs. Professionally licensed California insurance agents in Orange are eager to ask you the proper questions regarding your insurance policy and enhance your shopping experience.
