California law requires every licensed insurer to participate in CAARP — the Assigned Risk Plan. Even if you've been turned down 10 times, there is a legal path to coverage. We enroll you same day.

209-670-1556CAARP (California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan) distributes high-risk drivers among all licensed insurers — meaning one of them is legally required to cover you. It's not charity. It's real insurance at higher-than-standard rates, and it's your right as a California resident.
Most standard carriers decline DUI drivers. CAARP requires an insurer to cover you.
Two or more at-fault accidents in 3 years puts you in the high-risk category for most carriers.
A lapse in coverage or no insurance history often triggers refusals from standard carriers.
A prior suspension, even if reinstated, can make it difficult to get standard coverage.
Many carriers won't write a policy if you need an SR-22. We combine SR-22 + CAARP same day.
If you've been turned down by at least one insurer, you may qualify for CAARP immediately.
