Click Here to Call (442) 434-2412What high-risk means
High-risk is an underwriting category, not a judgment. A record or insurance history can make some carriers less willing to offer a policy.
What puts you there
DUI, at-fault accidents, uninsured driving, lapses, violations, suspension, reckless driving, teen drivers, limited history and non-renewal can affect underwriting.
Coverage types
Liability addresses covered injury or property damage to others. Collision and comprehensive address different types of vehicle loss; other coverages may also be available.
“Full coverage” is not a real product
“Full coverage” is shorthand, not a universal policy. Ask for actual limits, deductibles and coverages.
California minimums as a floor
California standard minimum liability limits are $30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident and $15,000 property damage.
What it costs
Rates depend on record, vehicle, location, limits and insurer underwriting.
How to pay less
Keep coverage continuous where possible, compare actual limits, ask about eligible discounts and review vehicle choice.
Getting back to standard rates
Time and a cleaner record can improve future options, subject to carrier underwriting.
