How to Find the Right Tesla Roadster Insurance

Saving money on auto insurance requires having a decent driving record, having above-average credit, avoid buying unnecessary coverage, and insuring your home and auto with the same company.

  • It is possible to save up to $180 per year simply by quoting online well ahead of the renewal date
  • Drivers with reckless driving or DUI convictions could be forced to pay on average $1,720 more every year than a driver with a clean driving record
  • Increasing deductibles can save approximately $575 each year
