How a visit works
Walk in at 9 Vivian St or call 209-670-1556. Mon–Fri 10:00am–6:00pm, Sat 10:00am–3:00pm, Sun closed.
Documents: photo ID or ITIN; vehicle registration or VIN; lease or mortgage packet for home/renters/landlord; any DMV SR-22 order.
Read the written fee disclosure if a fee applies.
Same-visit proof of insurance is typical when a policy is bound. SR-22s are filed electronically.
When a standard homeowners form will not write a Marin rental or wildfire-exposed dwelling, the working structure is often a DP-3 landlord policy or, if fire markets decline the risk, a California FAIR Plan plus a difference-in-conditions wrap — explained on our San Rafael landlord insurance page.
San Rafael & Marin County Insurance, Done in Your Language
Marin County living comes with Marin County risks — high home values, wildfire zones, and a commute that runs the length of the 101. From our office at 9 Vivian St in downtown San Rafael, Insurance City is an independent broker: we shop your coverage across several carriers instead of selling you whatever a single company offers, and any fee that applies is disclosed in writing before you commit.
The San Rafael office. Walk in during office hours; no appointment needed.
Drivers, commuters & families across Marin County
From the Canal neighborhood to Novato, Marin drivers spend real time on the 101 and 580 — and rideshare and delivery drivers need the right rating to stay covered while they work. We match each driver to a carrier whose rating fits their situation, file SR-22s when the DMV asks for one, and write policies for drivers using an ITIN rather than a Social Security number.
Protecting Marin homes and renters
Marin homeowners face two problems at once: some of the highest rebuild costs in California, and carriers pulling back from wildfire-exposed areas. We weigh several carriers, explain your options in plain language, and walk you through the California FAIR Plan if a standard insurer has already turned you down. Renters in San Rafael, the Canal, and Novato get the same care — real protection, not an afterthought.
Business insurance in San Rafael
Out-of-town owners opening in San Rafael need coverage that matches the lease on day one — usually commercial general liability (often $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate), the landlord named as additional insured, and a certificate of insurance (COI) the lessor will accept. Insurance City Agency, LLC quotes San Rafael commercial risks from our local office at 9 Vivian St (Via Rapida Services / Insurance City Agency, LLC). Call or text (209) 670-1556.
Marin County restaurants, contractors, salons, landscapers, and Fourth Street / Canal storefronts need lease-ready GL or BOP wording plus a COI the landlord will accept — especially when the owner lives outside Marin and is signing a San Rafael lease remotely.
We place general liability, business owners policies (BOP), commercial auto, property, workers’ compensation, and contractor license bonds for clinics, restaurants, contractors, trucking, and storefronts. For the exact lease clauses landlords write into California commercial leases (additional insured, primary & non-contributory, waiver of subrogation, notices), see our guide: What insurance does a California commercial lease require?
New-business checklist for San Rafael
Business license & city permits — register with the city/Marin County and complete any occupancy or health permits before you open.
Signed commercial lease — read the insurance paragraph (often labeled “Tenant’s Insurance” or similar). Note limits, additional-insured wording, and COI deadlines.
Certificate of insurance (COI) — bind the policy that satisfies the lease, then issue a COI naming the landlord/lessor. Same-day COIs are typical once the risk is bound. Details and a clause-by-clause table: California commercial lease insurance & tenant COI requirements.
