I am shocked at how CHEAP it is to insure our new LEAF! For full coverage (including collision and comprehensive) we are only paying $237/year! :shock: We do have a high deductible of $1000 and low miles-per-year, but we also maintain high liability coverage. This is only $26/year more than we pay for the same coverage on our 10-year-old Honda Civic Hybrid with the same driver.
Interestingly, the insurer would not allow us to add the replacement coverage rider for the first two years once they found out this was a demo vehicle, even though it was sold as new, which was their originally-stated criterion.
So I have three (or four) questions:
- How much do you pay to insure your Leaf? Is that high or low compared to your other vehicles?
- Do you expect my rates will go up once my insurer learns how expensive it is to repair a Nissan LEAF?
- Any other thoughts on LEAF insurance?
