Need California FAIR Plan Insurance in South Orange 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 South Orange County are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain traditional homeowners insurance due to wildfire exposure, canyon locations, hillside properties, and changing insurance company underwriting guidelines.
At Starwest Insurance Services, we specialize in helping homeowners secure California FAIR Plan coverage and companion policies when standard insurance options are limited or unavailable.
What Is the California FAIR Plan?
The California FAIR Plan is a state-mandated insurance program designed to provide basic property insurance coverage when homeowners are unable to obtain insurance through the traditional marketplace.
The FAIR Plan generally provides coverage for:
- Fire
- Smoke Damage
- Lightning
- Internal Explosion
Because the FAIR Plan does not provide comprehensive homeowners coverage, most homeowners also need a companion Difference in Conditions (DIC) policy to protect against:
- Water damage
- Theft
- Personal liability
- Loss of use
- Additional living expenses
- Personal property replacement cost
