Tesla delivered its first Cybertruck in late 2023. Since then, the distinctive-looking Cybertruck has become one of the most popular electric vehicles (EVs) on the market. In 2024, Tesla sold nearly 39,000 Cybertrucks, making it the bestselling electric pickup truck in the U.S.
If you’re considering buying a Cybertruck, it’s important to factor in insurance costs. The average monthly premium for Tesla Cybertruck insurance is $283 for full coverage. At $3,392 per year, Cybertruck insurance rates are comparable to those of other Tesla electric vehicles.
Comparing car insurance quotes can help you find the coverage you need for your Cybertruck at the best price available to you.
Cybertruck insurance costs vary based on the model year, coverage selected, and where you live.
Cybertruck owners can purchase insurance from Tesla, which uses telematics to set rates.
Comparing quotes can help you find the cheapest Cybertruck insurance for your situation.

How Tesla insurance works
Tesla owners can purchase car insurance directly through the manufacturer. Tesla Insurance is available for the Cybertruck and other Tesla models, like the Model Y and Model S.
Leveraging technology in Tesla vehicles to track real-time driving habits, Tesla Insurance uses a Safety Score to calculate your monthly premium.
Your Safety Score takes into account several factors, including:
Hard braking
Aggressive turning
Unsafe following
Late-night driving
Excessive speeding
Seat-belt usage
Forced autopilot disengagement
When you initially enroll in Tesla Insurance, you’re automatically assigned a Safety Score of 90. Your insurance premium can increase or decrease based on changes in your Safety Score and the number of miles you drive.
Tesla Insurance provides standard coverages, like state-minimum liability insurance, collision insurance, comprehensive insurance, and uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance. Gap insurance is available as an add-on in some states. Tesla also offers a few discounts, which vary depending on where you live.
Using the mobile app, Tesla owners can get a Tesla Insurance quote. Although Tesla Insurance isn’t currently available in California, the company offers California Tesla drivers an alternative insurance option that doesn’t track driving behaviors.
How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Tesla Cybertruck
While the Tesla Cybertruck includes many advanced safety features, it’s still important to have sufficient insurance coverage in case of an accident.[1] You can choose from the following coverage options for your Cybertruck:
Collision and comprehensive insurance
Collision insurance pays to repair your Cybertruck after an accident. Comprehensive insurance covers non-collision losses, such as damage from falling objects, fires, floods, theft, and vandalism. Drivers typically purchase these coverages as part of a full-coverage insurance policy.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance
Uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance covers your losses if you get into an accident with an uninsured driver or someone who doesn’t have enough insurance to cover your losses in full.[2] This can be a beneficial coverage because Cybertrucks are expensive to repair or replace.
Gap insurance
Gap insurance is a wise choice if you lease or finance your Cybertruck. If you total your vehicle or someone steals it, and you owe more than the car is worth, gap insurance covers the difference between the value of the vehicle and what you still owe the lender.[3]
New car replacement coverage
If you total your Cybertruck or someone steals it, new car replacement coverage pays to replace it with a similar Cybertruck, without factoring in depreciation. This coverage is typically available only for newer vehicles within a specific mileage limit.
Rental reimbursement coverage
Rental reimbursement coverage pays for a loaner vehicle if your Cybertruck needs to be repaired after a covered claim. Since Cybertruck repairs can take months, this coverage can be especially beneficial.

Methodology
Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.
Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).
Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
- Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
- Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
- No additional coverage
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
- Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
