Things to consider when insuring one
Fire-risk recall: park it outside until it’s fixed
NHTSA advises parking affected cars outside and away from buildings. A fire in an attached garage can become a home insurance claim as well as an auto one, so get the repair done first.
5-star overall crash rating
NHTSA’s top crash rating. Crash protection affects injury claims, which make up a large share of what auto insurance pays out.
Driver-assist sensors come standard
They can help avoid crashes, but a windshield or bumper repair often needs the cameras and radar recalibrated, which costs more. Check what your comprehensive and collision deductibles would mean for a glass claim.
Battery repairs and specialist shops
Damage near the battery pack can be expensive to repair and fewer shops are certified. Ask how a policy handles battery damage and whether it covers charging equipment at home.
