If all the cars are drivers you may want to do the DMV experience, make an appointment and take all your title / registration / insurance paperwork and take in the wonders of the CA DMV.
One thing you may want to do is spread things out over time so you don’t have all your renewals showing up in the same month, can get pricy. Good luck

All true. There are a lot of vehicle registration 'brokers' that do this for not that much money.
