Lenders require comp & collision with a minimum $500 deductible. They dont care if you carry liability insurance,they just care about their property….unless you have a lease and then they require a minimum of 100/300/100 in liability.
Liability coverage minimum in CA is 15/30/5. BTW, there is no such thing as full coverage…you either purchase the appropriate coverage for your needs or you don’t. Full coverage assumes all inclusive and that is not the case..each coverage is seperate and pays for different things.

Most require “full” coverage with 100,000/300,00/50,000 limits. You would be stupid to carry any less do to the high costs of auto body repair, and the high awards often awarded in law suits. It’s really just a few dollars more than minimum coverage. Minimum coverage would barely cover just court costs.

Most lenders require full coverage insurance. This is to cover replacement costs should you have an accident and quit making payments. Normally, if the coverage is changed or dropped, the lender is notified by the insurance company.
