    I believe 15/30 is the minimum legal coverage in CA. You may want to compare premiums for 100/300 which will covered your a** better in case of accident.

    Increased risk of being rear ended!:confused:
    That doesn't have a damn thing to do with the insurance company's risk of loss.
    Why on earth would you expect them to? :rolleyes:

    Fact is California has higher insurance losses and that Toyota (and the Prius in particular) is more expensive to repair.

    I've never done the add one after buying a new car before but did opt for the gap coverage because I was worried State Farm would be more inclined to total my wife's brand new Prius than pay to repair it. Don't know if that's factual but i feel better lol

    Allstate is charging me more for our 2012 Prius than for our 2011 Audi Q5, same coverage, everything else equal. I argued with them, but they insist the rates are higher for the Prius. Go figure, as the Audi cost twice as much.

    I just purchased my 2012 prius a week ago and my insurance premiums were reduced by 35/mo with the same full coverage at Mercury in Los Angeles. My previous car was a 2005 tsx.
