Too many California drivers are overpaying, underinsured, or turned away because of their record. Does any of this sound familiar?
Too Many Quotes, Too Much Confusion
You've called around, gotten a dozen different prices, and still don't know if you're getting a fair deal. The fine print is impossible and the rates keep changing by the time you're ready to commit.
Worried Your Policy Won't Pay Out When It Counts

We Find Your Best Rate
Our agents shop multiple carriers and present you with the best coverage options for your budget, your vehicle, and your driving record.
Drive Out Fully Protected
Get same-day proof of insurance. Walk out covered, California-compliant, and ready to hit the road with confidence.
Protection Built for California Drivers
We offer a full range of auto insurance coverage options so you get exactly the protection you need, whether that's state minimums or comprehensive peace of mind.
Liability Insurance
Required by California law, liability coverage can pay for the other driver's medical bills, vehicle repairs, and property damage you cause when you're at fault, keeping you legally compliant and helping to financially protect you.
Collision Coverage
Collision coverage can help pay for repairs to your own vehicle after an accident, regardless of who is at fault. Whether you hit another car, a guardrail, or a pole, this coverage helps you get back on the road without a massive out-of-pocket expense.
Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive protects your vehicle from non-collision damage: theft, vandalism, fire, flooding, hail, and falling objects. If your car is stolen or totaled by an act of nature, comprehensive coverage has you covered.
Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist
Nearly 17% of California drivers are uninsured. If you're hit by one of them, this coverage helps pay for your medical bills and vehicle repairs when the at-fault driver has no insurance, or not enough, to cover your damages.
SR-22 Filing (Free)
Required after a DUI, license suspension, or serious traffic violation, an SR-22 is a certificate of financial responsibility filed with the DMV. We file your SR-22 the same day at no extra charge so you can reinstate your license fast.
Medical Payments Coverage
Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage helps pay for medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of who caused it, helps with covering hospital bills, ambulance fees, and treatment costs so injuries don't become financial disasters.
Driving Without Coverage Is a Risk You Can't Afford
In California, getting caught without car insurance isn't just a minor inconvenience. The financial and legal consequences can follow you for years. Here's what's at stake every time you drive uninsured.
- Fines of $100–$500 for a first offense, more for repeat violations
- Vehicle impoundment and registration suspension
- Personal liability for the other driver's medical and repair bills
- Driver's license suspension and required SR-22 filing
- No coverage if your car is stolen, totaled, or damaged
- Difficulty getting affordable coverage after a lapse in insurance
Updated 2025 Minimum Coverage Requirements

Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Insurance in California
How much does car insurance cost in California?
Car insurance in California varies widely based on your driving record, vehicle, age, and location. At Express Lane Insurance, policies start as low as $1 per day. Drivers with clean records typically pay less, while those with DUIs or accidents may pay more, but we specialize in finding competitive rates for all situations.
What are California's minimum auto insurance requirements in 2025?
As of January 1, 2025, California's updated minimum liability limits under SB 1107 are: $30,000 bodily injury per person, $60,000 bodily injury per accident, and $15,000 property damage. Driving without meeting these minimums is illegal and can result in fines, registration suspension, and license revocation.
Can I get car insurance with a DUI, suspended license, or bad driving record?
Yes. Express Lane Insurance specializes in high-risk and non-standard auto insurance. Whether you have a DUI, multiple accidents, a lapse in coverage, or a suspended license, we work with carriers that cover drivers other agencies won't. We file your SR-22 the same day at no extra charge.
What is an SR-22 and do I need one?
An SR-22 is not insurance, it's a certificate of financial responsibility that your insurance carrier files with the California DMV. It's typically required after a DUI conviction, license suspension, or serious traffic violation. Express Lane Insurance files SR-22s the same day at no additional cost.
How fast can I get covered?
In most cases, we can get you covered the same day you call. You'll receive proof of insurance in as little as 15 minutes, whether you walk in to one of our offices or call us over the phone.
What is the difference between collision and comprehensive coverage?
Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle when you're involved in an accident, whether you hit another car, a pole, or a guardrail. Comprehensive coverage pays for damage caused by events outside of a collision: theft, vandalism, fire, flooding, hail, or falling objects. Both are optional in California but highly recommended for newer or higher-value vehicles.
Does Express Lane Insurance serve drivers with no license or an out-of-state license?
We work with a wide range of driver situations, including drivers without a California license. Our team can advise you on your specific options and find carriers that match your circumstances. Give us a call at (661) 874-1600 and we'll help find a solution.
