What type of car insurance am I required to have for a financed car in California?
I'm trying to figure out what car insurance I'm supposed to have for a financed car. Is there a minimum that's required in California? Will car insurance companies know what the requirements are?

Full coverage isn't required by California law, but it's stipulation from most lenders for the duration of an
auto loan
. Most lenders require that the financed vehicle carry both collision car insurance
and comprehensive insurance
. Occasionally, they will require specific liability car insurance
coverage limits above the required state minimums as well. When you sign your finance agreement, your lender should provide you with the specifics of the coverage required. If they don’t, ask them directly about coverage you’re required to have.
