Why insure your Rivian with Assur360?

Rivian, the U.S. manufacturer of premium electric vehicles, recently arrived in Canada. The R1T and R1S offer a range of 400-660 km and impressive off-road capabilities, but their high replacement cost ($80,000 to $130,000), the scarcity of parts and the very limited number of Rivian certified body shops in Quebec drive up the insurance premium. Comparing 9+ insurers is a must—some companies refuse outright, others rate appropriately.

⚠️

Rivian Certified Collision Repair Shops — Limited Availability in Quebec

Rivian currently has only a few certified repair centers in Canada, primarily in Ontario and British Columbia. In the event of an accident in Quebec, your vehicle may have to be shipped out of province. Make sure your policy includes long-distance towing and extended replacement vehicle (30+ days). Assur360 verifies these clauses for each Rivian bid.

How to save on your Rivian insurance

Discounts applicable to Rivians: electric vehicle discount (5-12% with many insurers), multi-product car + home, approved GPS tracker, closed garage parking, low mileage. Also take advantage of the provincial Roulez Vert program — for Rivians above the $65,000 threshold, the rebate is limited to $4,000 (compared to $7,000 for more affordable EVs). The federal iZEV credit does not apply to Rivians (above the price threshold). For commercial EDVs, explore iVMGZE.

Recommended Coverages for Your Rivian

For a Rivian, we recommend a minimum of $2 million in liability (consider $3-5 million if you have high assets), comprehensive protection (B1) including theft and vandalism, replacement cost for any R1T/R1S less than 3 years old, replacement by equivalent vehicle (30 days minimum), long-distance towing (500 km+), high-voltage battery coverage and residential charging station protection. A $1,000 theft deductible is common — with a GPS tracker, you can negotiate $500.

Rivian insurance available anywhere in Quebec

Assur360 insures Rivian owners in Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Sherbrooke, Gatineau, Trois-Rivières, Saguenay, Thetford Mines, Drummondville, Saint-Jérôme and everywhere else in Quebec. No matter where you’re in, our 9+ partner insurers offer comprehensive coverage for your Rivian.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rivian Car Insurance

How much does Rivian R1T or R1S insurance cost in Quebec in 2026?
Between $2,500 and $4,800 per year for a 25-45 year old driver with a good record. The 2024 R1T is around $2,700 to $4,100, the 2024 R1S is around $2,900 to $4,500, and the Launch Edition or Max Pack versions can exceed $4,800. Young drivers or drivers with points pay up to 50% more. Get your exact price in 3 minutes with our quick online quote.
Why is Rivian insurance so high?
Five main reasons: 1) very high replacement cost ($80,000 to $130,000); 2) expensive high-voltage battery ($25,000 to $40,000 to replace); 3) Unique parts to be ordered from Normal, IL; 4) very few certified bodyshops in Canada, out-of-province shipping often required; 5) recent vehicle, little actuarial data. Many insurers refuse outright — Assur360 knows which ones accept and rate correctly.
Is the R1T considered a pickup or an EV by insurers?
Both categories apply. The R1T is classified as a premium electric pickup. Some insurers evaluate it as a full-size pickup (Ford F-150 Lightning, GMC Hummer EV), others as a luxury SUV. The valuation varies from one insurer to another, which is why it is important to compare. The Adventure Pack and Max Pack versions change the base price.
Is my R1T eligible for the Roulez Vert program?
Yes, but with a reduced discount. Since the 2024 reforms, EVs priced above $65,000 will receive a maximum provincial rebate of $4,000 (up from $7,000). All new Rivian R1T and R1S exceed this threshold. The federal iZEV rebate ($5,000) is no longer available since the end of 2024. For a commercial EDV, the iVMGZE program may apply.
Do all insurers insure Rivians in Quebec?
No. Many traditional insurers refuse new or rare vehicles, or price them at a very high level. Assur360 works with insurers that accept premium EVs (Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Polestar): Intact, Belairdirect, TD Meloche Monnex, Economical and several specialized insurers. We find the most competitive insurer for your case.
Can I insure my Rivian if I have a bad driving record?
Yes, but the offer is more limited. Substandard insurers insure the Rivian, but the combination of “rare luxury vehicle + difficult record” increases the premium significantly (possibly $5,000+/year). Assur360 compares the options and finds the best price/coverage ratio available.
Does the Rivian warranty cover battery damage?
The Rivian manufacturer’s warranty includes 8 years or 282,000 km on the high-voltage battery (whichever comes first), for defects. Accidental damage (shock, flood, fire) is not covered by the warranty — it is covered by your car insurance. Make sure your all-risk policy explicitly covers the high-voltage battery (some policies exclude it or cap it).
What specific protections do you recommend for a Rivian?
Civil liability $2-5 million, all perils (B1), replacement cost 36 months, long-distance towing 500+ km, equivalent replacement vehicle 30+ days, residential charging station coverage ($1,000 to $3,000), explicit high-voltage battery coverage, theft deductible $500 with GPS tracker. For commercial EDVs, add cargo liability and cargo protection.
How long does it take to get a quote for a Rivian at Assur360?
Less than 3 minutes online for basic submission. Our brokers then call back during the day with detailed offers from insurers who accept Rivian. For the Launch Edition or commercial EDV versions, one or two additional calls may be required to validate the features. Call 1-866-357-4451 directly to save time.
Can I keep my Rivian Adventure Network installer/kiosk?
Yes. Membership in the Rivian Adventure Network does not affect your car insurance. However, your Rivian Home Charger must be covered by either your car insurance (charging station option) or your home insurance. We check the best option when submitting.
