FAIR Plan and Auto Insurance

Published Date: 10/17/2023

In today’s show I provide an in-depth overview of the California FAIR Plan Association, which offers basic fire insurance coverage for California residents unable to obtain it through the private market. I clarify common misconceptions about the FAIR Plan, emphasizing that it is not a state-run insurer but rather an association of all admitted insurance companies in California. I explain the perils and coverage options included and excluded in a FAIR Plan policy, stressing the importance of also acquiring a DIC (Difference in Conditions) policy to supplement gaps in FAIR Plan coverage. Throughout the show, I take calls from listeners with insurance inquiries. These include a mother seeking advice on adding her teenage son to her auto policy upon getting his license and a homeowner who was dropped by his insurer inquiring about obtaining FAIR Plan coverage. I respond to these queries with detailed and tailored insurance advice.
