Full coverage in Vallejo: theft counts, the I-80 corridor and a Fairfield courtroom
Vallejo police reported 694 vehicle thefts and 402 thefts of motor-vehicle accessories to the state for 2025. Those are comprehensive losses — the half of full coverage that pays when nobody crashed at all.
Vallejo’s theft file
The Department of Justice’s Crimes and Clearances file shows the Vallejo Police Department reporting 1,128 vehicle thefts in 2022, 1,105 in 2023, 959 in 2024 and 694 in 2025. Trucks were a large slice early on — 380 of 2022’s total — and 100 of 2025’s. Thefts of motor-vehicle accessories peaked at 1,145 in 2022 and were 402 in 2025; thefts from vehicles were 874.
The Department of Insurance defines comprehensive as damage from something other than a collision — fire, theft, vandalism, windstorm, flood — and notes that deductibles apply only to comprehensive and collision. On a covered theft or break-in, the deductible you picked is the share you pay yourself.
The I-80 commute and collision
CHP’s Solano Area patrols I-80, I-680 and SR-12 across the county and says the I-80/I-680 junction in Fairfield carries more than 250,000 vehicles a day in some areas. Collision is the coverage that pays for contact with another vehicle or an object, such as a guardrail or a structure; the liability part pays only the other party.
Skipping collision means a Fairfield courtroom
If you drop collision and an uninsured driver hits you, the fallback is small claims, and Solano County hears them in Fairfield rather than Vallejo: Courtroom 303 of the Hall of Justice, 600 Union Avenue, Monday through Wednesday at 1:00 PM, with the clerk at the Old Solano Courthouse on Texas Street.
The court lets a person claim up to $12,500, the limit in Code of Civil Procedure section 116.221, or waive anything above that to stay in small claims, and provides a free small-claims advisor by phone. With collision, your own insurer pays for the repair under your policy terms instead.

"Full coverage" is not a single policy — it is shorthand for liability, which California requires and which pays for the other person's injuries and property when you're at fault, plus comprehensive and collision, which pay to repair or replace your own car. We compare several carriers for Vallejo drivers in one call.
Vallejo & Solano County
6.2% of Vallejo households do not have a vehicle at all, which is one reason non-owner and named-operator policies come up here. The average one-way commute in Vallejo runs about 36 minutes, and mileage is one of the few rating factors you can actually change. 21.6% of Vallejo commuters spend an hour or more getting to work each way, which is a different risk picture from a short local drive. 3.7% of Vallejo workers get to work on public transit, so plenty of people here drive occasionally rather than daily. 10% of Vallejo 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 339 people killed or injured on Vallejo roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for.
