Quick answer
In Pasadena, 4.1% of workers take public transit and 4.7% of workers carpool (Census). For qualifying Pasadena drivers, liability-only coverage starts at $31 a month — an advertised starting point, not a quote: your own rate depends on your record, mileage, vehicle and coverage choices, and different carriers price the same driver very differently, which is why we compare. We accept ITIN, Matrícula Consular, and AB-60 licenses.

Pasadena & Los Angeles County
14.3% of households here keep three or more vehicles, so who drives which car is a question worth settling on the application in Pasadena. The average one-way commute in Pasadena runs about 27 minutes, and mileage is one of the few rating factors you can actually change. 23.6% of Pasadena workers now work from home — and if your car stopped commuting, your policy should say so, because annual miles are part of the rate. The state's own crash rankings recorded 978 people killed or injured on Pasadena roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for. 75 pedestrians were killed or injured here in the same year, and pedestrian claims are exactly where a thin liability limit runs out. In the year the state last ranked, 60 fatal or injury collisions in Pasadena were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for.
