Driving in Bakersfield Country Club: What to Know
Car ownership is close to universal here. About 90% of households have two or more vehicles, compared with 63% statewide, and no households lack a car. Around 81% of workers drive alone and none use public transit, so most households put several cars on the road each day. That means more vehicles to insure, which makes multi-car pricing worth asking about. SR-178 runs nearby, and a commute under 20 minutes helps keep annual mileage modest.
