Other types of coverage limits are optional. You can create an affordable earthquake insurance policy by adjusting each earthquake policy limit to as little or as much as you want. It’s earthquake coverage where you need it most for a custom fit for your home.

You only need to enter your property address and your dwelling limit from your current Homeowners policy.

California Earthquake insurance rates

How is California earthquake insurance rate calculated?

In general, your earthquake insurance rate is based on your Homeowners Coverage A Dwelling limit for most California homes. Sometimes, a third-party expert calculates your home’s replacement cost estimate. More factors that determine your price are:

  • The age, size, and location of your home.
  • Your home’s foundation type.
  • The construction materials used in your home.
  • The deductible and limits you choose.

California Earthquake deductibles

How does the earthquake insurance deductible work?

GeoVera offers California earthquake insurance with a broad range of deductibles. The deductible is the amount that will be subtracted from your payout when you have a claim for earthquake damage. The deductible you choose is calculated based on a percentage of your home’s insured value.

Earthquake deductibles in California start as low as 2.5% and go as high as 25%!

You can choose a lower deductible to save on earthquake insurance when it matters most, or you can choose a higher deductible so earthquake insurance does not have to be outside your budget.
