Quick answer

In Fontana, 12.3% of workers work from home and 17.5% of households have exactly one vehicle (Census). For qualifying Fontana 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.

Sources

Not insurance rates or quotes.

In most other states a low credit score raises car insurance rates, but California is different: state law forbids insurers from using credit to price personal auto coverage, so bad, thin or no credit legally cannot raise your premium in Fontana. We don't run a credit check to rate you.

Fontana & San Bernardino County

73.4% of Fontana workers drive to work alone, which is why almost every household here needs its own policy rather than a shared one. 11% of Fontana workers carpool, and who else drives your car is a question worth answering honestly on the application rather than after a claim. 43 motorcyclists were killed or injured in Fontana in the ranked year, which is the case for carrying more than the minimum on two wheels. 26 cyclists were killed or injured on Fontana streets that year, and a cyclist injury is a liability claim long before it is anything else. 100 fatal or injury collisions in Fontana happened between 9pm and 3am, the hours when a single bad decision can become a claim and a conviction at once. 3.1% of Fontana households do not have a vehicle at all, which is one reason non-owner and named-operator policies come up here.

I have no credit history at all. Can I still be insured in Fontana?
Yes. Which company's filed rules suit a thin file, and what each asks up front, varies; that is a comparison problem. ITIN, Matrícula and AB-60 are accepted.
Our household shares one car in Fontana. How should the quote list drivers?
List everyone who drives it. 17.5% of Fontana's 57,111 households have one vehicle and 35.8% have two, per the Census; a shared car quoted for one driver does not describe the household.

Can a single ticket in Fontana change my quote?
It can; the record is the first rating factor in California's statute. In 2023, 166 fatal or injury collisions were speed-related in Fontana (OTS rank: 19th-worst of 62 similar-size cities), and 100 fatal or injury collisions happened between 9pm and 3am.

I do not drive to work in Fontana. Does that help?
It can lower your annual mileage. 1.3% of Fontana workers take transit, 11% carpool and 73.4% drive alone, per the Census; if you are in the first two groups, say so on the application.
