Quick answer
In Long Beach, 16.9% of commutes are under 15 minutes and 68.3% of workers drive alone (Census). For qualifying Long Beach 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.

Long Beach & Los Angeles County
485 fatal or injury collisions in Long Beach happened between 9pm and 3am, the hours when a single bad decision can become a claim and a conviction at once. 8.8% of Long Beach households do not have a vehicle at all, which is one reason non-owner and named-operator policies come up here. 18.4% of households here keep three or more vehicles, so who drives which car is a question worth settling on the application in Long Beach. The average one-way commute in Long Beach runs about 30 minutes, and mileage is one of the few rating factors you can actually change. 12% of Long Beach commuters spend an hour or more getting to work each way, which is a different risk picture from a short local drive. 3.9% of Long Beach workers get to work on public transit, so plenty of people here drive occasionally rather than daily.
