[snip] And another tidbit for those living in California: If you sign over the totalled vehicle's title to the insurance company, make certain the company files the title transfer. The State of California will continue to bill you for the license and fees with threats of substantial penalties for non-payment even though the vehicle no longer exists and/or owned by your. CalDMV told me that non-existence of the vehicle is not a sufficient excuse for non-payment of the taxes and fees! Until they have the paperwork and have processed it, you're the "owner" and they want their money and they want it NOW.
