California now requires $30,000 per person for bodily injury, $60,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $15,000 for property damage (30/60/15). This is double the previous minimums that had been in place since 1967. These limits increased in January 2025 under Senate Bill 1107 and will remain in effect until 2035 when they increase again to 50/100/25.
The average Brentwood driver pays around $60 per month for auto insurance. This is approximately $4 more than the California average but about $21 less than the national average. Your actual rate depends on factors like your driving record, vehicle type, marital status, and coverage levels. Single drivers typically pay about $17 more monthly than married couples.
Possibly. The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District recently improved to a Class 2 rating from the Insurance Services Office. This better rating indicates improved fire protection capabilities, which insurers typically view favorably. Contact your insurance agent to ask if this improvement qualifies you for a premium reduction, as not all carriers adjust rates immediately after rating changes.
Yes, bundling typically saves 15-25% on both your home and auto insurance premiums. Beyond the cost savings, having both policies with one carrier simplifies your insurance management and often results in better claims service. Get quotes both bundled and separate to confirm you're getting the best overall value.
While Brentwood isn't directly on a major fault line, it's close enough to the Bay Area's seismic zones to experience significant shaking from a major earthquake. Standard homeowners policies exclude earthquake damage, so you need a separate earthquake policy. Given the value of Brentwood homes and the potential for significant damage, earthquake coverage is worth considering, especially if you have a large mortgage.
Start by asking neighbors and coworkers for referrals, as local recommendations are often the most reliable. Look for agents who specialize in bundling policies, understand Brentwood-specific issues, and provide strong claims support. Interview at least three agents, check their online reviews, and ask about their experience serving East Contra Costa County families. The right agent will take time to understand your needs rather than just pushing the cheapest policy.
