For professional reasons, I'm going to move to San Francisco for 3 months. I come from Europe and I'm not a US citizen. As I will have tens of meetings and appointments across the Valley, I plan to buy a car...and I need a full coverage to lower risks.
My question is simple: how there specifics for foreign people when subscribing to a car insurance?
For example, if I choose a full coverage (physical damage, liability, collision) will I be charged additional fee as a foreign worker? I read this post about living costs in SF SF cost of living - San Francisco - Oakland - California (CA) - City-Data Forum but I couldn't find an accurate answer yet.
Any idea of car insurance companies that might be specialized in short-term contracts in the valley?
Car insurance generally works on a 6 month basis. But can be billed monthly and whenever you cancelled it you would either get a refund if you paid the whole 6 months ahead(usually at a slightly cheaper rate) or just not have to pay the next month if billing monthly.
But I agree, likely cheaper and more practical to just do a long term rental than mess with the hassle of buying/insuring/registering as a non-resident/selling.
