15+ Years Experience

Meet Steve

I’ve worked in insurance sales and service for more than 15 years, helping customers find coverage that fits their individual situation. Over the years, I’ve worked with many people who are new to California, buying their first car, or coming to the U.S. with driving experience from another country. I’ll personally shop multiple insurance carriers, explain your coverage options, and find the coverage and price that best fit your situation.

Most residents will need either a valid U.S. driver’s license or a valid driver’s license from another country. We can help you navigate the process and find coverage that fits your situation.

Yes, we can provide a quote at the time of purchase. We know that when you’re at the dealership, time really matters, so from quote to purchasing a policy we focus on moving things along efficiently and getting you on the road as soon as possible.

Many insurance carriers will allow you to be insured with a valid foreign driver’s license for up to one year. During that time, you’ll generally need to obtain a California driver’s license to remain eligible for coverage. We can help you find coverage while you’re making that transition.

If you are getting a loan or a lease, in most cases you will be required to carry deductibles no higher than $1,000.

From the time we receive your information, in most cases we can have your quote completed in around 15–20 minutes. If you decide to purchase the policy, the next steps are simply to e-Sign and pay. We’ll then email your new proof of insurance.

We’ll compare options from multiple insurance carriers to find the coverage and price that best fit your situation. Our process is fast, secure, and personalized for California drivers.
