California Car Insurance Rules for Cazadero Drivers
Annual mileage counts heavily under Prop 103, so tell your insurer honestly if remote work or short trips keep your miles down. Comprehensive coverage also deserves a look, since it pays for fire, flood and vandalism, which liability-only will not cover on your own car.
