Car Insurance Question  In state of California what are the state's requirements for insurance and is there a basic full coverage insurance?

According to the California DMV and Department of Insurance note that minimum liability insurance requirements for private passenger vehicles (California Insurance Code 11580.1 b) are $15,000 for injury/death to one person, $30,000 for injury/death to more than one person, $5,000 for damage to property.

All California drivers and owners must have at least the statutory limits of minimum liability insurance or an approved alternative way to pay for injury or property damage they may cause. Penalties are very severe for non-compliance with this section of the vehicle code.

There is no actual type of "full coverage" auto insurance. This phrase usually refers to having at least the state's minimum liability coverage plus physical damages coverages of collision and comprehensive.
