Driving in Bodega: What to Know
Almost no one here relies on transit, and every household has at least two vehicles, compared with about 63% statewide. Only about 22% of workers drive alone, far below the state's 67%, so carpooling or working nearby seems common. About 8% work from home, which is lower than the state's 15%. State Route 1 runs nearby, and the CHP patrols it, so rural highway miles are likely part of your week. With two cars in nearly every driveway, ask about multi-car pricing and make sure each vehicle has coverage that fits its value.

California Car Insurance Rules for Bodega Drivers
Mileage is one of the top rating factors under Prop 103, so if you drive less than you did before, tell your carrier. Also remember that liability-only coverage will not repair your own car, which matters on rural roads with long distances to a shop.
