Quick answer

In Fresno, 1,600 people were killed or injured in reported crashes and 22.4% of households have three or more vehicles in 2023 (OTS and Census). Fresno drivers are priced on their record, mileage, vehicle and coverage choices, and different carriers price the same driver very differently — which is why we compare, and why the free two-minute quote is the only number that is actually yours.

Sources

Not insurance rates or quotes.

ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes and dune buggies are insured differently from your car. An off-highway vehicle that is not street-registered may not be ridden or left standing without OHV identification — the green or red sticker — except where the Vehicle Code provides otherwise (Vehicle Code section 38020). That sticker is separate from insurance, and whether you need a policy can depend on where you ride, your lender or the landowner.

Fresno & Fresno County

In the year the state last ranked, 168 fatal or injury collisions in Fresno were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for. 33.7% of Fresno households run a single vehicle, so when that one car is off the road the whole household is, which is what rental and towing cover are actually for. 25.2% of Fresno commuters are at work inside fifteen minutes, and annual miles driven is one of the factors California rates on. 23.5% of workers here are on the road half an hour or more each way, and more time on the road is more exposure, whatever your record looks like. 73.7% of Fresno workers drive to work alone, which is why almost every household here needs its own policy rather than a shared one. 11.2% of Fresno workers carpool, and who else drives your car is a question worth answering honestly on the application rather than after a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my Fresno homeowners or renters policy already cover the quad?
Check on-property and off-property use in the policy itself; the line is written there, not in California law. If it is not clear in writing, treat it as a no.
What crash numbers exist for off-road riding around Fresno?
None we will quote. OTS counts road crashes: in 2023, 1,600 people were killed or injured in reported collisions in Fresno (OTS rank: 12th-worst of 15 similar-size cities), and 57 people were killed or injured in motorcycle-involved collisions. Trail and private-land riding is in neither figure.

Can I add the quad to my Fresno auto policy?
In our experience, usually not; an off-road machine needs its own policy or an endorsement built for it. 33.7% of Fresno's 179,684 households have one vehicle and 8.5% have none, per the Census; list everything with an engine on the call.

Does it matter how far I tow the quad from Fresno?
Long tows are road miles. 23.5% of Fresno commuters already travel 30 minutes or more each way, 4.4% an hour or more, and the average trip is 22.3 minutes, per the Census; tell us how far you haul.

Is towing home late at night around Fresno riskier?
In 2023, 180 fatal or injury collisions happened between 9pm and 3am in Fresno (OTS rank: 13th-worst of 15 similar-size cities), and 238 people were killed or injured in collisions where a driver had been drinking. With a loaded trailer, daylight is the easy precaution.
