Fontana & San Bernardino County

In the year the state last ranked, 57 fatal or injury collisions in Fontana were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for. Speed was a factor in 166 fatal or injury collisions in Fontana that year, and a speeding ticket goes on the same driving record your rate is built from. 17.5% of Fontana 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. 45.5% 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. 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.
