Who runs Cal Auto Quotes

Building an insurance history in California raises questions most guides skip: which licenses work, how driving experience from another country counts, and what the law says about never having had a policy. This site answers them in English.

What you will find here

• License and documents checker — Choose the license you have and see what California law says about it for insurance: how your years of driving count, when the Good Driver discount opens up, and why no prior insurance cannot be held against you.
• 56 guides on insurance for drivers with an AB 60 license, a license from another country, or no U.S. insurance history yet, including The AB 60 License, Read Plainly, Your Home Country License, and How Far It Goes, Buying Your First Policy With No Insurance History.

Who runs this site

calautoquotes.com is published by Auto World Insurance Services (Yako Enterprises Inc.), a licensed California insurance broker — CA Insurance Broker License #6005606. You can look that license up on the California Department of Insurance website, insurance.ca.gov. Quote requests from this site go to our licensed agents, who compare insurance companies for you. We are a broker, not an insurance company: policies are issued by the insurance companies we place them with.

How these pages are written

• Every legal statement in our tools links to the statute, regulation or DMV page it comes from, and we are adding those sources to our older guides as we review them.
• When something depends on your insurance company, the page says it varies by company instead of guessing.
• We do not publish average or typical rate figures.
• A page's "Updated" month changes only when its content really changes.
• Our free tools run in your browser; nothing you type into a tool is sent to us. (The quote form is how you choose to send us your details.)
