Tennessee car insurance could rise as much as 5% due to tariffs

[Airyaman]

Wait, wut? Why would tariffs have any effect on car insurance rates?

Let me explain it plainly grasshopper. Car accident, care repair with parts that have gone up die to tariffs. When costs to repair go up, insurance must go up.

Get it? Good.

Car insurance premiums are projected to increase in the state of
Tennessee, disrupting a trend of national auto insurance cost stability.

Tennessee isn't the only state that may have to cough up more cash
for car insurance. The cost of auto insurance in America could increase
by as much as 7% nationally, according to Insurify, an American
insurance comparison shopping site.

Why car insurance premiums could increase​

in second half of 2025​

Tariffs are having a huge impact on the auto industry because many
automotive parts come from foreign countries. Additionally, the final
assembly of several popular automotive nameplates takes place outside
of the United States. Some automakers like Tesla are less exposed to the
tariffs thanks to American manufacturing, but some of the largest
American automotive brands have been feeling the sting of increased
import costs.

You do realize when multiple things go up in price there's a term...what is it? Oh yes, inflation!

I'm glad you're willing to pay more so wealthy people can get a bigger tax cut. Many of us aren't.

 

[dmpi]

Only 5%?! That's a gift compared to what happened under Biden.

Too bad. Pay anyway and pay often.

5% here and 7% there, jobs are down. It all adds up to a bad picture.

When everything starts going up $10.50 the 10.50s quickly start to add up to real money

If it actually happens.

Speculation.

Uh huh. I don’t need “everything’. So there’s that.

MAGA mentality.

If you don’t need anything prices won’t go up at all. That sounds like a stable genius style plan.

The far right finally caused a situation in which inflation can largely be blamed on a president. Perhaps they'll get the recession that they wanted, as well.

It’s not as if (the recent) tariffs are the only cause of rising auto insurance premium costs.

Tariffs will NOT have a cascading effect on prices throughout the economy. Absolutely not. Impossible!

True, but according to Insurify, the expectation this year was that car insurance rates would hold steady, but the tariffs appear to be changing that.

Car Insurance Premiums Will Rise 4% or More by the End of 2025, Disrupting a Trend of Stability, Insurify Projects

Insurify projects car insurance rates will rise by the end of 2025. Find out what to expect in your state.

insurify.com

Initially, car insurance companies looked at 2025 as a year to keep insurance rates stable, or even cut them,
after years of premium increases. In the first half of the year, rates were steady nationally and decreased in
27 states.

Tariffs and inflation could derail that trend. Some insurers may have already accounted for tariffs when setting
rates, while others may have to raise rates if tariffs increase the cost of claims.

Insurify projects the national average cost of full-coverage car insurance will increase 4% by year’s end ($2,402)
and up to 7% if prolonged tariffs lead to significant insurer losses ($2,472).
