     When I moved out here 3.5 years ago, everyone told me to use the
California State Automobile Association (CSAA), which is the local branch
of AAA.  CSAA is non-profit, and you get other benefits like free maps,
roadside service, and the other usual motor club services.

     CSAA was certainly the cheapest insurance I found.  I checked a
good half dozen of the commercial companies.  However, be sure to shop
around by calling up several different agents (not just companies).
Insurance premiums are notorious for random variations.

     One fair warning: I've heard a couple of stories of poeple
complaining CSAA undervalues/over-depreciates the value of a car
damaged in an accident.  This would mean you might not get as much
as you think your car is worth if it were totalled, and CSAA might
consider it totalled when another company might not.  I've not seen
widespread complaints of this sort, so I'm not sure it's a valid
complaint either.

     Welcome to California.  You're lucky you're not a young single
male driving a sports car.  Your premiums should merely be outrageous.
