Vallejo & Solano County

In the year the state last ranked, 60 fatal or injury collisions in Vallejo were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for. Speed was a factor in 55 fatal or injury collisions in Vallejo that year, and a speeding ticket goes on the same driving record your rate is built from. 28.6% of Vallejo 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. 55.3% 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. 70.5% of Vallejo workers drive to work alone, which is why almost every household here needs its own policy rather than a shared one. 19 motorcyclists were killed or injured in Vallejo in the ranked year, which is the case for carrying more than the minimum on two wheels.
