Insurance California<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In California,&nbsp;<strong>full coverage isn\u2019t an official insurance policy<\/strong>, no carrier sells a product with that exact name. It\u2019s 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\u2019s actually in that bundle helps you avoid paying for protection you don\u2019t need, or worse, driving with gaps you didn\u2019t 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\u2019s legal minimum has changed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s worth double checking your declarations page to confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liability coverage only pays for the other party\u2019s 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=\"California\u2019s legal minimum has changed\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\u2019s included in full coverage<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Medical payments coverage (MedPay)<\/strong>: optional, covers medical costs after an accident regardless of fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Liability coverage:&nbsp;<\/strong>pays for the other driver\u2019s medical bills and property damage when you\u2019re at fault.
