I am moving to California, is car insurance cheaper there than in New Jersey? What is the insurance policy like in CA - i.e. point system?

There are differences between the mandatory state insurance requirements in Connecticut and California. In California you are required to have bodily injury of $15,000/$30,000 and property damage of $5000.

Connecticut state law requires liability limits of $20,000/$40,000 for bodily injury and $10,000 for property damage. The state also requires a minimum of $20,000/$40,000 of uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

Since Connecticut has higher and more insurance requirements than California their state average for auto insurance is higher. You can review the CarInsurance.com Premium Index - CPI at any time to learn more about average premiums.

Your moving violation in California might affect your insurance rates in Connecticut since insurance companies that you apply for insurance with will check your driving record as part of their rating criteria.
