Fiddletown Car Insurance FAQ
Does working from home lower my car insurance in Fiddletown?
It can, if it cuts your annual mileage, because mileage is one of the main rating factors in California. About 36% of workers here work from home, so many neighbors may have lower mileage to report.
Do I need comprehensive coverage when theft is so low in Amador County?
Theft is rare here at about 0.4 per thousand people, but comprehensive also covers fire, flood and vandalism. In a wooded foothill area, fire and weather are worth weighing before choosing liability-only, which does not cover your own car.
