Trying to find lower insurance coverage rates for your Tesla Model X? Are you overwhelmed by the dozens of insurance coverage sources available to you? You have so many choices that it can quickly become a challenge to find the best prices.
Take these six policy discounts and save
Companies that sell car insurance don’t always advertise all disounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the following list contains some of the more common as well as some of the hidden discounts you could be receiving when you buy insurance online.
- Student in College – Any of your kids who are enrolled in a college that is more than 100 miles from home and do not have a car may qualify for this discount.
- Data Collection Discounts – Drivers who elect to allow their insurance company to scrutinize where and when they drive by using a small device installed in their vehicle such as State Farm’s In-Drive could possibly reduce rates if they have good driving habits.
- Full Payment Discount – If you pay your bill all at once rather than spreading payments over time you could save 5% or more.
- Discounts for Federal Employees – Simply working for the federal government can save as much as 8% for Model X insurance with certain companies.
- Anti-theft System – Cars equipped with anti-theft or alarm systems help deter theft and earn discounts up to 10% off your insurance quote.
- Discounts for New Vehicles – Putting coverage on a new car may earn a small discount compared to insuring an older model.
A quick disclaimer, many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. A few only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. So even though they make it sound like you can get free auto insurance, it just doesn’t work that way.
Large auto insurance companies and a selection of discounts are detailed below.
- Farmers Insurance offers discounts including electronic funds transfer, homeowner, multi-car, good student, and mature driver.
- Esurance includes discounts for multi-policy, safety device, Pac-12 alumni, defensive driver, and multi-car.
- State Farm may offer discounts for anti-theft, safe vehicle, good driver, Steer Clear safe driver discount, and driver’s education.
- Geico may include discounts for multi-policy, air bags, anti-theft, federal employee, and five-year accident-free.
- Allstate discounts include 55 and retired, anti-theft, passive restraint, utility vehicle, and economy car.

Which policy gives me the best coverage?
When it comes to buying the best insurance coverage coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Each situation is unique.
These are some specific questions can aid in determining if your insurance needs would benefit from an agent’s advice.
- Can I pay claims out-of-pocket if I buy high deductibles?
- I have health insurance so do I need medical payments coverage?
- Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?
- Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
- Is my custom paint covered by insurance?
- Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2017 Tesla Model X is totaled?
- Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
- Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
- Exactly who is provided coverage by my policy?
If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.
Do drivers who switch really save $420 a year?
Insurance companies such as State Farm, Geico and Progressive regularly use ads in print and on television. They all say the same thing that drivers will save a bundle if you change your policy. That’s great but how can every company charge lower premium rates?
Insurance companies have a preferred profile for the type of driver that will be a good risk. For instance, a desirable insured might be between the ages of 40 and 55, has never had a claim, and chooses high deductibles. A propective insured that hits that “sweet spot” will get the preferred premium rates and is almost guaranteed to pay quite a bit less when switching companies.
People who don’t measure up to those standards may be required to pay higher rates and the customer not purchasing. If you pay attention, the ads say “customers who switch” not “everybody who quotes” save that kind of money. That’s the way insurance companies can make those statements. This really emphasizes why you need to do a quote comparison often. You cannot predict which company will have better premium rates than you’re paying now.
Detailed coverages of your car insurance policy
Learning about specific coverages of your car insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as hail damage, falling objects, fire damage, hitting a bird and vandalism. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Medical expense insurance
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like surgery, X-ray expenses, funeral costs, pain medications and prosthetic devices. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Tesla Model X.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Auto collision coverage
Collision insurance covers damage to your Model X resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things like sideswiping another vehicle, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Liability car insurance
This will cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.
Liability can pay for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical expenses and court costs. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
