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:
$30,000 for bodily injury liability per person
$60,000 for bodily injury liability per accident
$15,000 for property damage liability per accident
Keep in mind that California’s updated minimums are 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.[5] If you don’t want UM/UIM insurance, you’ll need to sign a waiver to decline it.
Most experts recommend purchasing more coverage than your state requires. 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.
