Need California FAIR Plan Insurance in San Diego County?
If you’ve received a homeowners insurance non-renewal notice or have been declined by multiple insurance companies, you’re not alone. Many homeowners throughout San Diego County are facing challenges obtaining traditional homeowners insurance due to wildfire exposure, brush hazards, and stricter underwriting guidelines.
At Starwest Insurance Services, we specialize in helping homeowners secure California FAIR Plan coverage and companion policies when standard insurance options are no longer available.
What Is the California FAIR Plan?
The California FAIR Plan is a state-created insurance program that provides basic property insurance coverage for homeowners who cannot obtain insurance through the traditional market.
The FAIR Plan generally covers:
- Fire
- Smoke Damage
- Lightning
- Internal Explosion
Because the FAIR Plan does not provide full homeowners coverage, most homeowners also need a Difference in Conditions (DIC) policy to cover important risks such as:
- Water damage
- Theft
- Personal liability
- Loss of use
- Personal property replacement cost
- Additional living expenses
