“Wow! A Hummer to a Tesla is quite the change, but one that will ultimately save you tons of money on fuel. But don’t worry about the
car insurance
. Making the switch is simple.
Because you bought a new Tesla, the dealership will want to see
proof of insurance
before they let you drive off the lot, assuming you financed the vehicle. As a result, you should shop for car insurance online before you finalize the purchase.
Typically, this can be done over the phone or online if you’re satisfied with your current car insurance provider. You’ll need to provide your personal information, plus information about your new car like its make and model, the amount of miles on odometer and the vehicle identification number (VIN).
Know that your insurance costs could change due to the vehicle switch. So if you think it’s time to get a new policy, use insurance broker
