Need Home Insurance Quickly in San Diego County? We Can Help.
Have you recently received a homeowners insurance non-renewal notice?
Buying a home and need proof of insurance fast?

Own a home in a wildfire-prone area?
If so, the California FAIR Plan may provide a solution.
At Starwest Insurance Services, we help homeowners throughout San Diego County obtain fast California FAIR Plan approvals for properties that may be difficult to insure through traditional insurance companies.
Why Are So Many San Diego Homeowners Being Non-Renewed?
Over the past several years, many insurance carriers have reduced their exposure in wildfire-prone areas throughout California.
San Diego County has been particularly affected due to:
- Wildfire exposure
- Canyon properties
- Brush hazard areas
- Rural locations
- High Fire Severity Zones
- Catastrophic loss concerns
As a result, many homeowners have been forced to seek coverage through the California FAIR Plan.
What Is the California FAIR Plan?
The California FAIR Plan was established to provide basic fire insurance coverage for homeowners who cannot obtain insurance through the standard insurance marketplace.
Coverage generally includes:
✅ Fire
✅ Smoke
✅ Lightning
✅ Internal Explosion
✅ Certain Extended Coverage Perils
The FAIR Plan serves as California’s insurer of last resort.

How Fast Can FAIR Plan Coverage Be Approved?
In many situations, FAIR Plan coverage can be processed quickly once all required information is provided.
To expedite the process, we typically need:
Property Address
Year Built
Square Footage
Roof Age
Current Insurance Information
Prior Claims History
Photos of the Property (when required)
The sooner complete information is received, the sooner coverage options can be explored.
Do I Need a DIC Policy Too?
In most cases, yes.
One of the biggest misconceptions about the California FAIR Plan is that it provides complete homeowners insurance.
The FAIR Plan primarily focuses on fire-related risks.
Most homeowners also need a:
Difference In Conditions (DIC) Policy
A DIC policy may provide:
- Liability Coverage
- Water Damage Coverage
- Theft Coverage
- Personal Property Coverage
- Loss of Use Coverage
- Medical Payments Coverage

Before You Buy a FAIR Plan Policy
Ask yourself:
Have I explored alternatives?
Many San Diego homeowners assume the FAIR Plan is their only option.
That may not be true.
Depending on:
- Roof age
- Property condition
- Claims history
- Wildfire score
- Defensible space
- Property location
there may be alternative insurance solutions available.
