Lemonade Car Insurance Pricing

Lemonade car insurance sits below the national average for car insurance rates. The average annual rate with Lemonade is $1,590, while the national average is $2,071. Lemonade bases premiums on what it calls a Safety Score, which is determined by your annual mileage, violations history, claims history, and driving behavior. The device and app take your actual mileage when you drive to update your premium over time.

Here are Lemonade’s costs for different driver profiles:

• Full coverage, clean driving history: $1,771
• Speeding ticket: $2,138
• At-fault accident: $2,521
• Adding a 16-year-old driver: $3,852

As you can see, rates vary depending on your driving history and age. Your rate will also be contingent on the type of car you drive, your location, and any discounts that Lemonade can apply to the policy.

When shopping for rates, be sure to compare apples to apples. Have the same amounts listed for chosen coverages, such as comprehensive, collision, medical payments, and property damage liability.

• Accident-free discount: This discount applies when you have a five-year history of no at-fault accidents.
• Anti-theft discount: Get a discount when you have factory-installed or aftermarket anti-theft equipment on your car.
• Bundle discount: Lemonade has other insurance products that qualify you for a discount when you add them along with your auto insurance policy. Unlike other companies that only bundle with homeowners or renters insurance, Lemonade provides a discount if you have pet health insurance or term life insurance.
• Continuous insurance discount: Keep a policy on the car (including previous insurers) with no gaps in coverage, and you’ll be eligible for this discount.
• Driving with location services on: When you give Lemonade more access to your driving patterns by allowing the app’s location services to run while driving, you become eligible for another discount on top of per-mile savings.
• Hybrid/EV discount: When you insure a hybrid or an electric vehicle (EV), you’ll get a discount.
• Multi-car discount: When you insure more than one vehicle with Lemonade, you’ll get a discount.
• Paid-in-full discount: Lemonade lowers your policy’s premium when you pay it at once.
• Savings for planning ahead: Get a discount when you sign up for auto insurance before your coverage start date.
• Senior defensive driver discount: If you are 50 years old or older and complete an approved defensive driving course, you can get a discount. You’ll need to take a course every three years to maintain the discount, however.
• Smart technology discount: Features like automatic braking or blind-spot monitoring make your car safer to drive, which results in savings.
• Teen driver discount: When you have a licensed driver under the age of 19 with continuous coverage on the car, you’ll get a discount.
• Three-year safe-driving discount: Become eligible for a discount when you have three years of a clean driving record.

Per-Mile Price Model

Lemonade is a new breed of car insurance that prices policies based on actual miles driven. The less you drive, the more you save. It uses a telematics device that you install on the car. Lemonade monitors your driving on the corresponding app and reports it to the company.

It’s easy to use, and while Lemonade says that the lower price is due to lower emissions, less driving also means you are at less risk of an accident.

Gap Insurance

Gap insurance pays off your car loan or lease when you total your car in an accident and you owe more than it’s worth.¹ Lemonade includes gap insurance with its policies.

Emergency Charging

Lemonade has extra, free perks for people who drive EVs. If you’re stuck somewhere with your EV battery drained, Lemonade will send a charging truck to your location. You’ll get the charge you need to get home and plug in.

Charger Coverage

Most auto insurance companies will insure only the car. However, the car charger for an EV is essential to the car’s running. Lemonade provides coverage for your charger in the event that something damages it. Covering this accessory means that your EV gets protection from the wall to the bumper.

Temporary Transportation Coverage

Most insurance companies offer rental car reimbursement coverage, which pays for the rental of a vehicle while yours is in the shop under a covered claim. In addition to rental car coverage, Lemonade offers temporary transportation coverage. It offers a daily limit that you can use for either rental car coverage, public transportation, or rideshare costs. Elect a limit of $40, $50, or $60 per day.

Extended Glass Coverage

Comprehensive coverage pays for property damage (other than collisions) that is beyond your control, such as when a tree falls on your car or a thief breaks in. When choosing comprehensive coverage, you can opt for extended glass coverage, which means that you can choose a lower deductible just for the glass. If a thief breaks a window to steal something, you’ll pay a lower deductible.

In fact, one option is to have no deductible at all, though premiums will be higher. Still, the lack of deductible will be a silver lining on the day when something breaks the glass.

Lemonade car insurance is a new carrier, having opened its doors in 2015. As of December 2022, car insurance is available only in Illinois, Ohio, and Tennessee. Lemonade also owns Metromile, another pay-per-mile insurer, which is available in Arizona, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.

Lemonade has a notification service for those who want to know when its insurance will be available in their area. It may also use this service to gauge interest areas and plan its next rollout, so signing up may help Lemonade become available in your area sooner rather than later.
