Car and other insurancies: try Tony Mintz, Farmers Insurance - Tony Mintz
Insurance 2881 El Camino Real # F Redwood City, CA (650) 364-8428 .

He handled us as out-of-state drivers and not out-of-country drivers, and we
thus got quite a good rate.

Don't know about Rechtsschutz, but regarding Haftpflicht: for cars take the
phone-book and call a lot of the car insurance companies. Prices vary
greatly,
and if you just arrived here you will find that its expensive and you cannot
get good coverage. This will change in about one to two years, unless you
were
involved in a traffic accident or got a ticket.
Haftpflicht (liability): this is often coupled with general renters
insurance
or house insurance (i.e. against theft, fire, ...) but you may be able to
get
it separatly. Most of the big insurance companies offer this. If you get all
insurance policies from the same company you may get a better deal.
So call lots of them, compare what they offer, and read the fine print.
