Most residents will need either a valid U.S. driver’s license or a valid driver’s license from another country. We can help you navigate the process and find coverage that fits your situation.

Yes, we can provide a quote at the time of purchase. We know that when you’re at the dealership, time really matters, so from quote to purchasing a policy we focus on moving things along efficiently and getting you on the road as soon as possible.

Foreign licenses are accepted for a limited time. Once you start driving, you’ll need to begin the process of acquiring your California driver’s license. We recommend that you check with the CA DMV for the latest licensing rules.

If you are getting a loan or a lease, in most cases you will be required to carry deductibles no higher than $1,000.

From the time we receive your information, in most cases we can have your quote completed in around 15–20 minutes. If you decide to purchase the policy, the next steps are simply to e-Sign and pay. We’ll then email your new proof of insurance.
