Orange Blossom Car Insurance FAQ
Will my long commute raise my insurance price in Orange Blossom?
It can, because annual mileage is one of the top factors California insurers must weigh. Comparing several carriers helps, since each one prices mileage a little differently.
Do I need comprehensive coverage with theft lower than the state average?
Theft in Stanislaus County is about 1.8 per thousand, under the state's 3.2, but comprehensive also covers fire, flood and vandalism. If your car is paid off or worth little, liability-only may be enough, though it will not cover your own car.
What if my household shares one car?
About 15% of households here have no vehicle, so shared cars are not unusual. Tell the carrier who drives the car and how often, so the policy matches real use.
