How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Tesla Model S
As you build out an insurance policy that suits your needs, consider the following most common types of coverage:
Bodily injury liability coverage
If you cause injuries to another driver and their passengers during an accident, bodily injury liability coverage can help you pay for the other party’s medical bills. Most drivers must meet state minimums of this coverage type to drive legally.
Property damage liability coverage
If you cause damage during an incident, property damage liability coverage pays for repairs to other people’s property up to your insurance policy limit.
Collision coverage
If you want help paying for repairs to your vehicle after an accident, consider collision coverage. A collision policy might pay to repair or replace your vehicle, depending on the situation.
Comprehensive coverage
If your vehicle incurs damage from something other than an accident, like a fallen tree or flooding event, comprehensive coverage can help pay to repair or replace your vehicle. It’s one of the best car insurance options for drivers seeking more robust coverage for their vehicles and can afford higher insurance rates.[2]
Tesla Model S car insurance FAQs
If you have remaining questions about Tesla auto insurance premiums, find more answers below.
USAA offers the cheapest rates for Tesla Model S insurance, but the company only sells coverage to military members. GEICO usually offers the next cheapest car insurance for Tesla Model S drivers.
Shopping around with other large insurance companies to compare different rates available for your situation is the best way to lock in low rates for Tesla insurance, even if that means changing from your current insurance company.
Yes. Compared to the national average liability-only policy cost of $107 per month and $1,280 per year, the Tesla Model S is expensive to insure.
But your cost will vary based on your location and vehicle details — like if you have past traffic violations or a clean driving history. For example, a single-car policy might make it more expensive to insure the vehicle than bundling it into a bill with other insurance products, like a home policy, umbrella policy, life insurance policy, or boat insurance policy.
The average cost of liability car insurance is $143 per month for a Tesla Model S. For a full-coverage car insurance policy, the average car insurance cost is $339 per month. But the details of your vehicle information and claims from your previous policy matter.
For example, drivers of older models typically find lower car insurance quotes than people with newer models. In most states, insurance companies will also consider your credit history, awarding lower premiums to people with good credit.
A full-coverage insurance policy — which includes comprehensive and collision coverages — should cover hail damage.
Reach out to your insurance company’s customer service team for more information about the specific conditions of your policy contract.[3] Experienced agents should get you the answer about your specific policy quickly and may have recommendations or advice on how to file a claim.
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.
