Driving in Franklin: what shapes your rate
Suburban households shape Franklin coverage.
Teen drivers
Adding a teen raises premiums. Good student and driver training discounts can help.
Newer vehicles
Newer cars cost more to repair. Gap coverage protects you if your loan balance is higher than the car's value after a total loss.
Severe storms and tornadoes
Spring storms bring hail, high wind, and tornadoes. Hail, wind, and falling-tree damage are comprehensive claims, so check your deductible.
Higher liability limits and umbrella coverage
Households with homes and savings often choose 250/500 liability and an umbrella policy for extra protection.
Coverage priorities for Franklin drivers
| Your situation | Coverage to review | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Household with a teen | Good student and driver training discounts | Can offset the added cost. |
| New car with a loan | Collision, comprehensive, and gap coverage | Lenders require physical damage coverage. |
| Homeowner | Home and auto bundle | Often the largest discount. |
| Household with significant assets | 250/500 liability and an umbrella policy | Protects savings and home equity. |
Examples only, not recommendations. Coverage availability and terms vary by insurer.
Tennessee rules every Franklin driver should know
| Coverage | Minimum | What it pays for |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily injury, per person | $25,000 | Injuries you cause to one other person |
| Bodily injury, per accident | $50,000 | Injuries you cause to two or more people |
| Property damage | $25,000 | Damage you cause to other people's vehicles and property |
- Low minimums. Tennessee's 25/50/25 limits can be used up quickly by a single injury crash or a collision with a newer vehicle, leaving you responsible for the difference.
- Uninsured motorist coverage. Insurers must offer uninsured motorist coverage, usually at limits matching your liability coverage. You can reject it or choose lower limits in writing, but keeping it protects you when the at-fault driver has little or no insurance. Learn more about UM/UIM coverage.
- Fault rules. Tennessee uses modified comparative fault. Your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame, and you cannot recover if you are 50% or more at fault.
- Electronic verification. The Department of Revenue checks registered vehicles through the Electronic Insurance Verification System. If it cannot confirm coverage, you get notices, then fees and possible registration suspension if you do not respond.
- Driving uninsured. Driving without proof of insurance is generally a Class C misdemeanor with a fine of up to $300, and more serious charges can apply after an injury crash. See high-risk auto insurance.

Franklin auto insurance FAQs
How can I lower the cost of adding a teen driver?
Ask about good student and driver training discounts, and consider assigning the teen to the least expensive car. Some insurers also offer telematics discounts for safe driving.
Does my policy cover tornado or hail damage?
Only if you carry comprehensive coverage. Hail, wind, tornado, and falling-tree damage are comprehensive claims, subject to your deductible.
Do I need an umbrella policy?
If you own a home or have significant savings, an umbrella policy adds liability protection above your auto and home limits, often for a modest premium.
Is Tennessee a no-fault state?
No. Tennessee is an at-fault state with modified comparative fault. The at-fault driver's liability insurance pays, and you cannot recover if you are 50% or more at fault.
Do I need full coverage in Franklin?
Tennessee only requires 25/50/25 liability. Collision and comprehensive are optional under state law, but a lender or leasing company will almost always require them.
Should I keep uninsured motorist coverage in Tennessee?
Yes, for most drivers. Insurers must offer it, and rejecting it requires a written rejection. It pays for your injuries when the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little.
