You will need to get San Francisco California car insurance on your car once you move to San Francisco CA from Alabama. The California Department of Motor Vehicles states that your car insurance needs to meet the minimum liability limits required by the state of CA and be issued by a insurer licensed to do business in California.

Your insurance will normally conform with another state if you are only visiting but not if you move there and now garage your car in this new location. Your Alabama insurance agent could give you more information about how long your AL insurance will cover you in San Francisco CA after you have moved there.
