California Fair Plan Companion Policy

California Fair Plan Companion Policy

There are many in the state of California that have to purchase a Fair Plan policy in order to obtain fire insurance for their home. The Fair Plan is a policy which is available to all homeowners in the State of California regardless of brush fire score, but only provides coverage for a limited number of risks. While it can cover fire, smoke, internal explosion and other perils, it cannot cover certain perils such as water, theft, and personal liability. In order to get coverage for those perils not included in the California Fair Plan, homeowners need to purchase a Companion policy.

A Companion policy, also known as a Difference In Conditions or Wraparound policy covers those perils that the Fair Plan doesn’t. This way, should you have to purchase a Fair Plan policy, you could also purchase a companion policy in order to get coverage as close to a standard homeowners insurance policy as possible. While some coverage varies, typically a companion policy will offer coverage for theft, water, and personal liability while the Fair Plan will cover fire, smoke, internal explosion and other stated perils.
