Insurance in California<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In California, <strong>full coverage isn&#8217;t an official insurance policy<\/strong>, no carrier sells a product with that exact name. It&#8217;s shorthand for a combination of coverages, usually liability, collision, and comprehensive, that together protect both your vehicle and other people on the road. Understanding what&#8217;s actually in that bundle helps you avoid paying for protection you don&#8217;t need, or worse, driving with gaps you didn&#8217;t know you had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Californias_legal_minimum_has_changed\"><\/span><strong>California&#8217;s legal minimum has changed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As of January 1, 2025, California raised its minimum liability requirements for the first time since 1967. Drivers must now carry at least 30\/60\/15 coverage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$30,000 in bodily injury liability per person<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$60,000 in bodily injury liability per accident<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$15,000 in property damage liability per accident<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This replaced the old 15\/30\/5 minimums, which had been in place for nearly 60 years. If your policy renewed after January 1, 2025, your insurer should have updated your limits automatically,  it&#8217;s worth double checking your declarations page to confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liability coverage only pays for the other party&#8217;s injuries and damage. It does not pay for your own car or your own medical bills. That gap is exactly why most California drivers carry more than the legal minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/expertoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Full-Coverage-in-California-Costs-Requirements-2.png\" alt=\"Full Coverage in California: Costs &amp; Requirements\n\" class=\"wp-image-2614\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_included_in_full_coverage\"><\/span><strong>What&#8217;s included in full coverage<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Medical payments coverage (MedPay)<\/strong>: optional, covers medical costs after an accident regardless of fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Liability coverage: <\/strong>pays for the other driver&#8217;s medical bills and property damage when you&#8217;re at fault.
