Frequently Asked Questions

If I do not own a car in West Covina, do I still need proof of insurance?

The duty follows the driver. California requires evidence of financial responsibility in effect whenever you drive, and expressly allows showing it on a phone — the officer may view only that (Vehicle Code section 16028).

I take transit in West Covina and drive now and then. Is a non-owner policy worth it?

2% of West Covina's 50,921 workers commute by transit and 11.3% work from home, per the Census. If you borrow or rent cars even occasionally, a non-owner policy covers those trips.

Does a non-owner policy cover the car I borrow in West Covina?

It covers your liability to others, not damage to the borrowed car. How it stacks with the owner's policy is written in each contract, so check both.

I share my partner's only car in West Covina. Do I need my own policy?

Possibly not. 21.6% of West Covina's 32,586 households have exactly one vehicle and 34.7% have two, per the Census. If you live with the owner, being listed on that policy may fit; non-owner policies are for cars in other households.
