The California Low Cost Automobile Insurance Program (CLCA) is a state-sponsored program administered by the California Department of Insurance that provides liability coverage at fixed, program-set rates for income-qualified California residents who meet the eligibility requirements. North Bay commuting with elevated auto-theft claims. Many Vallejo drivers who have been quoted out of standard-market pricing are eligible for CLCA and do not know it exists.

Vallejo & Solano County

CLCA was created because a meaningful share of California drivers are priced out of the voluntary insurance market — not because they're bad drivers, but because of income, credit, or specific circumstances. The program sets uniform liability rates by county, limits coverage to California state minimums, and is only available through CDI-certified producers. It is not advertised by the big national carriers because it's a state program, not a carrier product. Most people who qualify only hear about it when they ask a specialist broker.

Coverage

CLCA provides Liability coverage at the California state minimum limits (which carriers must offer; higher limits are not available through this program). Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury is available as an option. The program does not provide comprehensive, collision, or any physical damage coverage for the vehicle itself — it's specifically a liability-only program. Rates are set by the state, not individual carriers, and vary by county. Solano County rates are published by CDI and identical across every CDI-certified producer.

What does CLCA cover?
