Get to Know Yuma
In Yuma, driving is a very common activity for many types of people. Driving alone is the most common way to get to work in Yuma, but many people carpool to work, too, making vehicle ownership a huge part of everyday commuting for many residents. Therefore, most people need to own a pickup, compact SUV, fuel efficient sedan, or commuter vehicle that handles the heat and is reliable.
All of these vehicle types have distinct selling points for Yuma buyers, including air conditioning, durability, fuel economy, easy maintenance because the service technician is usually located within 30 miles, and overall performance versus looks.
I-8 connects Yuma to California as an interstate highway; it serves Phoenix-bound routes as well as freight movement distribution centers. In support of these uses, ADOT reports approximately 22,686 vehicles use I-8 in calendar year 2023 from the California state border to E. Giss Parkway. However, YMPO reports that part of 32nd Street has an average annual daily traffic count, or AADT, of approximately 25,813 vehicles in 2024, with trucks making up 9%. US 95, 4th Avenue, Avenue B, 16th Street, 32nd Street, and State Route 195 are the primary arteries that facilitate daily consumer use of these same market areas.
Yuma’s most hazardous areas are not classified solely on a clean top five list, but consist of high volume commercial areas and arterial conflict spots. The area around Avenue B at 16th, 20th, and 24th Streets has significant construction and safety-related closures. 16th and 4th Avenue is another area that continues to be a recurring crash response area. Intersection improvements have been requested for County 14th and Avenue G; County 14th and Avenue C; US 95 and Avenue C; and County 11th and Avenue G.
Within the greater Yuma County area, the reasonable estimate is that between 50 to 70 used vehicles are sold each day. Much of this is through franchise dealers as well as independent dealerships, private party transactions, and online delivery to consumers located within the city limits. According to Cox Automotive, the number of used vehicles sold within the United States is approximately 37.4 million in 2024.
In comparison, Yuma County has approximately 220,310 people living in the county as of 2024. This indicates a steady replacement market is maintained for unrepaired vehicles due to commuting, weathered vehicles due to heat, military turnover, agricultural workers because of their occupational conditions, and affordability pressures.
People can still get around without a car, but they have fewer options if they live outside larger population centers, including those found here in Arizona. There are three types of public transportation systems in the Yuma area: fixed route, vanpool, and demand responsive. YCAT provides all three services throughout the Yuma region. Areas served include the cities of Yuma, San Luis, Somerton, Wellton, and Cocopah; the cities of Winterhaven and El Centro; and the Quechan and Fort Yuma Reservation.
Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau show that about 0.1% of workers who live in Yuma use public transit to travel to and from work, so sellers can use this information to promote the practicality of owning a reliable used vehicle compared with waiting for long periods, making multiple transfers between transportation modes, being exposed to extreme heat while riding public transit, and facing limits on how far they can go without access to a direct route between where they live and where they work, as is the case with many existing bus routes.
Yuma is an example of how climate affects car ownership. According to WeatherSpark, the average July high temperature is approximately 107°F, and Visit Yuma claims there are approximately 310 days of sunshine in Yuma each year. This means that buyers are more concerned with items like batteries, cooling systems, tires, paint, dashboards, weatherstripping, and air conditioning than buyers in cooler climates.
If a vehicle is recently outfitted with a new battery, has strong air conditioning, has newer tires, has had its cooling system serviced, has window tint applied, has been garaged, and has been cleaned or detailed, then sellers should highlight these items to the prospective buyer because the desert sun accelerates vehicle deterioration at a much faster pace than its actual odometer reading.
Yuma generally offers lower rates than nearby cities and at or below most national benchmarks for full coverage. According to the 2026 Experian city table, Yuma’s average premium is $119 per month; in contrast, the premium in Phoenix is $208, Tucson $158, Mesa $174, and Glendale $210, meaning that in 2021 the average premium for full coverage in Arizona is about $142 a month.
Sources for statewide averages may vary, but generally Insurify’s analysis of average premiums for full coverage in Arizona shows that they are lower than the national average for full coverage. Because there is less local competition for full coverage premiums, it allows buyers looking for vehicles based on affordability to purchase newer or safer vehicles.
Factors impacting law enforcement in the Yuma metropolitan area are DUI collisions, speeding violations, uninsured motorist violations, driving without a valid driver’s license, and aggressive driving behavior on the arterial highways and roads. Criminal offenses related to traffic violations within the jurisdiction of Yuma Municipal Court include driving under the influence, DUI, speeding in a school zone, reckless endangerment, vehicular manslaughter, driving without insurance, and driving with a suspended license.
In 2025, the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office reports 1,503 traffic citations issued, 43 DUI arrests made, and 967 traffic accidents, of which 4.14 percent are alcohol related. Safety technology features to be considered by buyers are braking systems, visibility, driver-assist technologies, and the insurance impact of each on monthly premiums.
