Daly City & San Mateo County
43 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, 21 fatal or injury collisions in Daly City were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for. Speed was a factor in 29 fatal or injury collisions in Daly City that year, and a speeding ticket goes on the same driving record your rate is built from. 29.6% of Daly City 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. 47% 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. 12.4% of Daly City workers carpool, and who else drives your car is a question worth answering honestly on the application rather than after a claim.
