California auto premiums have risen sharply, driven by repair costs, parts availability and claim severity rather than anything a careful driver did wrong. Rate changes here move through a public filing and approval process, which means increases arrive in large steps rather than gradually — and it is why your renewal can jump without any change on your side.
The most valuable thing we do on a California auto policy is usually not finding a cheaper carrier. It is bundling it with the home. In a market where homeowners capacity is scarce, a carrier that has both your home and your autos has a materially stronger reason to keep writing you.
