Frequently Asked Questions

Why are California insurance rates going up so much?

Wildfires, rising rebuild costs, and several major insurers (State Farm, Allstate, others) pulling back from California have driven home insurance rates up sharply in 2024–2026. We help San Diego homeowners navigate the changing market and find coverage from carriers still writing new business in California.

What areas of San Diego do you serve?

We're an independent insurance agency licensed throughout California, serving clients across San Diego County — including La Jolla, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Chula Vista, Oceanside, Poway, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, and the surrounding communities. We also serve clients statewide.

What types of insurance does Kiesau Insurance Services offer?

As an independent agency we offer auto, home, life, business, and renters insurance, plus long-term care and retirement planning. Being independent means we shop multiple carriers to find the best fit — we're not locked into one company.
