Does my long commute affect my insurance price?
It can, because annual mileage is one of the top factors insurers must weigh under Prop 103. Commutes here average about 31 minutes, so be accurate about your miles when you compare quotes.
Do I need more than liability-only coverage in Madera Acres?
Liability-only does not cover your own car. About 78% of households here have two or more vehicles, so many families depend on their cars, and comprehensive coverage can protect against theft, fire, flood and vandalism.
