Save on Nissan Leaf insurance

How to Insure your Nissan Leaf on the Cheap

If finding cheaper car insurance was fun, we'd make the time to do it regularly. But more than likely, it's challenging for most people and we always end up paying more than we want. Finding affordable coverage for your Nissan Leaf probably is no different.

Step One: Compare Apples-to-Apples Quotes

The old-fashioned method of shopping for car insurance included visiting several local insurance agents and being on the receiving end of a hard sell tactic. Now you can compare rates and buy a policy online!

The best car insurance companies offer online quoting for a Nissan Leaf and it's very easy to compare different rates by only using one form.

Simply click the link below to start a quote that will compare rates from many companies and you may find a lower rate than you're currently paying.

Read this (it's important)! When doing any car insurance quote to compare rates to either your existing policy or to other quotes, it's important to use identical coverages on all quotes. Otherwise you will not be able to accurately determine which company has the lowest rate for your Leaf.

Step Two: How to Cut Costs on Leaf Insurance

There are many factors that actually determine what you will pay for insurance, and some are completely within your control.

Step Three: Buy the Policy That's Right for You

You've compared rates and hopefully looked over the coverages for each vehicle on your policy to make sure they're adequate. Now you can make the big decision on which company will best fulfill your needs.

If you're cancelling an old policy, make sure the new coverage starts the same day your old policy ends. This avoids any penalty for having a lapse in coverage which can cost you more.

If the Nissan Leaf is a new purchase and you already have car insurance, then you will have some coverage that extends to the vehicle. But if you let your old policy lapse or have never had coverage, you don't have any protection once you buy the vehicle. The coverage extended to an add-on vehicle is only as good as the coverage on existing vehicles, so if none of your current insured vehicles have full coverage, your new Leaf won't have it either. So in that case, it's important to call your agent or company directly from the dealership and have them bind coverage immediately.

Once your new policy has been purchased, you are required to keep the proof-of-insurance card in your vehicle at all times. This is required by state law and you can receive a citation if you cannot provide it. If you are required to file an SR-22 with your state, your new insurance company will take care of that for you. If you cancel your coverage for any reason, you risk the loss of your driver's license.
