It can. Annual mileage is one of the top rating factors under Prop 103, and local commutes average about 19 minutes. Be sure each quote uses your real yearly mileage.
Do I need comprehensive coverage for theft in insurance here?
Less than in much of the state. Humboldt County had about 2 thefts per thousand people in 2025, versus about 3 statewide. Comprehensive coverage still pays for theft, fire, flood and vandalism if you want that protection.
