Pomona drivers face a longer commute than most Californians, so it pays to compare car insurance quotes from several carriers in one place.
How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in Pomona?
Pomona's average commute is about 32 minutes, above the state average of 29, and more time on the road can mean more annual mileage, which Prop 103 weighs heavily. Vehicle theft is also a factor, with Pomona police reporting 4.3 thefts per thousand people in 2025 against a state average of 3.2.

Driving in Pomona: What to Know
About 72% of Pomona commuters drive alone, compared with 67% statewide, so most people here depend on their own car. Only about 2% take public transit, and nearly 69% of households have two or more vehicles. Interstate 10 and State Routes 57, 60 and 71 run through or near the city, which adds freeway miles to many trips. With theft above the state rate, comprehensive coverage is worth a look, since it pays for theft, fire, flood and vandalism.
