Quick answer
In Los Angeles, the average one-way commute is 31.1 minutes and 8.8% of workers carpool (Census). For qualifying Los Angeles 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.

Los Angeles & Los Angeles County
12.7% of Los Angeles commuters spend an hour or more getting to work each way, which is a different risk picture from a short local drive. 6.7% of Los Angeles workers get to work on public transit, so plenty of people here drive occasionally rather than daily. 17.3% of Los Angeles 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 8,116 people killed or injured on Los Angeles roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for. 1,432 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, 2,549 fatal or injury collisions in Los Angeles were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for.
