About $1,695 a year for full coverage on a national average — 18% more than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Rivian R1T at an index of 118 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2022-2024).
The premium isn't spread evenly across the Rivian R1T: Collision — damage to your own car in a crash — carries its highest loss index at 178, while Medical payments sits at 37. Those 141 points are the real reason behind the price, and they are the part a quote form never shows you. Among 22 pickups we hold data for, the R1T ranks #21 from cheapest, above the class median of 95. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2022 R1T sells for a median $51,000, so a year of cover costs 3.3% of the car's value. Calculated from 3 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a R1T costs what it does
Insurers don't price a car with one number — they track losses separately for each kind of cover. An index of 100 is the average vehicle, so anything above means this model generates costlier claims of that type:
Read it as «where the money goes». A high Collision figure means these cars are expensive to repair after a crash; a high Comprehensive figure points at theft, weather and vandalism instead. Estimated annual split at $1,695: Liability (BI + PD) $814 · Collision $475 · Comprehensive $203 · Other (UM / PIP) $203.

How it changed by generation

Each point averages every recorded variant of that generation. The R1T has become more expensive to insure over time (+4 points).
What a R1T costs by state
Where you park matters as much as what you drive. The R1T's index applied to each state's average premium — the same car, the same cover, different postcode:
| State | R1T est. / yr | vs national |
|---|---|---|
| Florida | +39% vs US | |
| Louisiana | +38% vs US | |
| New York | +32% vs US | |
| District of Columbia | +26% vs US | |
| Georgia | +21% vs US | |
| Texas | +20% vs US | |
| Wisconsin | -30% vs US | |
| Hawaii | -31% vs US | |
| Idaho | -32% vs US | |
| North Dakota | -33% vs US | |
| Vermont | -33% vs US | |
| Maine | -36% vs US |
