Not insurance rates or quotes.
An SR-22 is not a type of insurance. It is a certificate your carrier files with the California DMV proving you carry at least state-minimum liability, usually required after a suspension, a DUI, too many points or an at-fault accident while uninsured. Auto World writes the policy and sends the filing for Daly City drivers.
Daly City & San Mateo County
The average one-way commute in Daly City runs about 29 minutes, and mileage is one of the few rating factors you can actually change. 10.8% of Daly City commuters spend an hour or more getting to work each way, which is a different risk picture from a short local drive. 14.1% of Daly City workers get to work on public transit, so plenty of people here drive occasionally rather than daily. 12.8% of Daly City 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 256 people killed or injured on Daly City roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for. 43 pedestrians were killed or injured here in the same year, and pedestrian claims are exactly where a thin liability limit runs out.
