Was wondering if any of you guys are insurance brokers. Looking for a company for fire insurance on my home. Most companies, I’m finding out, will only give you insurance on the home w/out fire coverage. So you have to get the “California fair plan” which should have been called the “Unfair” plan. Frigging rediculous how much they want. It’s gonna drive me out of this ripoff state. Any help is greatly appreciated

Read the fine print on the Fair Plan. Before we moved we were forced to have it after the King Fire. Fine print said only 45% of the structures building expenses. So we pay full price and they only return 45% with contents insured either. My friend was just able to get State Farm and AAA to give them quotes. Might be worth a shot but with my insurance going up 300% I ended up moving. Not worth it if it does burn. Just another way to drive folks out of the country. Sorry you are getting hit with it, just a state money grab.

Thanks for the response. I will try them on Monday. MERRY CHISTMAS

Shouldn't we be pissed at developers who build in fire prone areas? It's not like they didn't see the trees.

Are you serious? It’s hard to believe you posted something as dumb as this

Considering the source, no it's not hard to believe.

I’m having the same issue with the fair plan and looking at buying another house in the hills I’ve been quoted anywhere from 10k to 18k a year just for fire insurance not including the home insurance. I’ve found that having triple A has been the cheapest if your bundles I have car , roadside , homeowners and fire through them .

So what did AAA quote you for the fire?

surprised you made it this long. Ours was canceled 2 years ago. FAIR Plan is expensive but i think you'll find it's the only game in town. Other policies might give you coverage but will be more money. Fair plan with extra coverage and you'll be fine . expect 2 to 3 K for the policy Fair + liability. Todd Stanley with O Donnell insurance 530 622-0536 out of Placerville very knowledgeable on the fair plan. only one he can sell for most of his customers. I'd recommend you speak with him.

Is this a serious statement? It’s California. Every area is pretty much prone in one way or another.
It’s not really a developers deal, it’s a government issue of taking money for building permits, taxes and assessments and not building the fire protection infrastructure that is needed. Consider weather and the lack of situational awareness of keeping a lot clear that follows the topography leading up to your house is the a big one. From seeing blocks burned to the ground and houses that are left standing, it rarely is an accident.
Let’s not forget our friendly PG&E that doesn’t maintain their own end of business that has caused billions of damage and left a lot of California’s high and dry, while they say sorry laughing to the bank with the protection of our trusty politicians like Newsome, Pelosi and Becerra.

Yes he is serious and that dumb. He also voted for all of these trusty politicians.

The best price I’ve gotten from triple A has been 380 a month including homeowners insurance but that including having fire breaks cut around the whole property annually

I would call Ben Green Insurance https://www.bengreenins.com/ Ben and his team have been great for me to evaluate all of my insurance needs. His team is great at looking over all of your insurance needs and recommending the best coverage for you.
