High speeds on highways like State Route 99 and the nearby Interstate 5, along with a mix of urban and agricultural roads, contribute to accident risks for Bakersfield drivers. The area’s frequent dust storms can reduce visibility, while the region’s proneness to wildfires adds another layer of unpredictability. Reliable car insurance keeps you and your finances protected when you’re on the road.
Because Bakersfield is a more rural city than the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, premiums may be lower than what your neighbors to the north and south are paying. To get the lowest rate for the right coverage, it’s wise to cost-compare with multiple insurers.
We’ve gathered quote data from Jerry customers in Bakersfield to show you how your age, location within the city and driving history can affect your policy costs.

Cheapest full coverage insurance in Bakersfield
Full coverage offers more holistic protection. This insurance combines collision insurance, which pays to repair damage to your vehicle after an accident, regardless of who is at fault, and comprehensive insurance, which kicks in if your car is stolen or damaged by something other than a collision, like a weather event. The state’s minimum required insurance doesn’t provide coverage for any of those situations.
Here are the cheapest quotes that Bakersfield drivers received for full coverage via Jerry.
