About The General® Car Insurance

For over 60 years, The General® has helped drivers across America get back on the road — without judgment and without breaking the bank. From coast to coast, The General has earned a reputation for saying “yes” when others say “no,” offering reliable coverage to people from all walks of life.

Whether you have a clean driving record or a few past mistakes, The General specializes in making car insurance simple, affordable, and accessible — especially for those who:

  • Have had accidents or traffic tickets

  • Need an SR-22 filing

  • Have never had insurance before

  • Are starting over after a lapse in coverage

In cities like Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Sanger, and Selma, drivers face real-world challenges every day — commuting to work, taking kids to school, managing rising costs, and trying to stay covered in a system that doesn’t always make it easy. The General® understands that, because helping everyday drivers is exactly what they do.

With:

  • Fast quotes — often within minutes

  • Flexible monthly payments that fit your budget

  • Coverage that meets California state requirements

  • And support from a local Fresno agency you can trust

…The General® takes the stress out of getting insured.

And now, through Cal Patriot Insurance, you don’t have to call a 1-800 number or get lost in an online maze. You can work with real people, right here in town, who will walk you through your options and help you get covered quickly — often the same day.

💬 Shaq Got a Break — So Can You

“Back in 1989, I couldn’t afford insurance on my first car. But The General was there and gave me a break with a low rate.”
Shaquille O’Neal

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal isn’t just the face of The General® — he’s a real customer. When other companies turned him away, The General stepped up. That same spirit is what drives The General to this day: offering coverage when others won’t.

Whether you’re starting out, starting over, or just looking for a better deal — The General® has your back.
