Quick answer
In Glendale, 10.4% of households have no vehicle and 2.1% of workers take public transit (Census). For qualifying Glendale drivers, non-owner coverage starts at $20 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.

Glendale & Los Angeles County
18.7% of Glendale 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 593 people killed or injured on Glendale roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for. 72 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, 47 fatal or injury collisions in Glendale were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for. Speed was a factor in 74 fatal or injury collisions in Glendale that year, and a speeding ticket goes on the same driving record your rate is built from. 19% of Glendale commuters are at work inside fifteen minutes, and annual miles driven is one of the factors California rates on.
