If getting around the East Bay is part of your weekly routine, you may have to navigate multiple freeways like the Nimitz, Interstate 80 and State Route 24. The area is known for the Bay Bridge, narrow and hilly roads, and occasional weather hazards like fog, rain and strong winds, making quality car insurance a must-have for Oakland drivers.
Because the East Bay is a high-traffic, urban area, drivers there may pay higher insurance rates than those in more rural cities, which means you may have to cost compare with multiple insurers to find the best rate.
We’ve gathered data from Jerry customers in Oakland to show you how rates can vary based on your age, driving history and even location within the city so you can rate shop confidently.
