Officials to offer cheap car insurance

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- State officials are taking steps to offer affordable car insurance in this difficult economy.

Many motorists may be tempted to drop their car insurance to save money, but California wants to remind drivers that the state offers low-cost policies under the California Low Cost Automobile Insurance (CLCA) program.

The program has been around for awhile, but officials are pushing the program again as the unemployment rate increases.

For those who qualify, rates could be as low as $30 a month.

To qualify, an applicant must be a good driver, with no more than one at-fault property damage accident. Family income must not exceed 250 percent of the federal poverty level.

Also, the value of an insured vehicle must not exceed $20,000.

For more information and to see if you qualify, call 866-60-AUTO-1.
