How Tesla insurance works
Tesla sells its own auto insurance product to Tesla owners in select states. The company offers a comprehensive auto insurance policy and has claim management services for policyholders. Tesla currently sells its insurance products in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
The actual comprehensive policy is usage-based. Tesla uses built-in technology to track your driving habits, like hard braking, aggressive turning, late-night driving, and more, to calculate your Safety Score and make premium calculations accordingly. But the company will also consider where you live, how much you drive, and the type of coverage selected when determining your insurance costs.
You can easily apply for a policy through the Tesla app by entering personal information, including your driver’s license number, address, and date of birth. Once you have a policy, you can use the app to access your insurance documents and make claims. The Tesla app has a rating of 3.8 out of 5 stars on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Tesla Model Y car insurance coverages
At a bare minimum, you must have liability coverage to drive legally in every state except New Hampshire. But you also have the option to purchase more extensive coverage, which many drivers do to make sure they have financial protection in the event of an incident. Some common additional coverages include:
Collision coverage
Collision coverage pays for the replacement of your vehicle if a collision with another car or object damages your vehicle. It also helps you cover the costs of repairing your car, regardless of who’s at fault in the accident.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive coverage provides protection against non-collision events, such as theft, vandalism, natural disasters, and hitting an animal. It covers the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle following damages from a non-collision incident.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage protects you if you’re in an accident with a driver who either doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance to cover the damages. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage helps pay for medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs in such situations.
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage assists in paying medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of who’s at fault. It covers costs like hospital visits, surgeries, and rehabilitation, providing additional financial support for necessary medical treatments.
Tesla Model Y car insurance FAQs
For even more insight into Tesla Model Y car insurance, check out these answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the electric vehicle.
Which company has the cheapest Tesla Model Y insurance?
Typically, USAA offers the cheapest car insurance for Tesla Model Y drivers. For example, if you drive the 2023 Model Y, USAA offers a liability-only policy for an average of $84 per month, while full coverage costs $182. But USAA limits coverage to military families, both active duty and veterans. For people who don’t qualify, State Farm and GEICO are the second and third cheapest on average.
Is the Tesla Model Y expensive to insure?
Yes. You’ll spend more on car insurance for a Tesla Model Y than on other makes and models. While the average cost of insuring a car nationwide is $153 per month, the average Tesla Y premium is $205 per month.
How much does it cost to insure a Tesla Model Y?
The average cost of insuring a Tesla Model Y is $205, but the car insurance company you choose can affect your insurance rates significantly. For example, the average cost of insuring a 2023 Tesla Model Y with USAA is only $133 per month, while it costs $340 per month with The General.
It’s a good idea to ask your insurance agent for information on discounts to save even more money when insuring your Tesla Model Y. For example, many insurers offer discounts for good students and military members.
What factors can affect the insurance cost for a Tesla Model Y?
Various factors can affect the average insurance cost of your Tesla Model Y, including your age, driving record, model year, location, vehicle type, credit history, marital status, and coverage selections. Additionally, factors such as mileage, usage, and car safety features also play a role in determining insurance premiums.[3]
Keep in mind that people with clean driving histories pay lower rates than drivers with past traffic violations on their record.
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 50+ 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
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
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.
