Whether you’re whipping around the legendary hair-raising curves of Tail of the Dragon, blasting some country music while you enjoy the wide-open country night sky, or taking a leisurely jaunt across the state to determine who has the best BBQ, hot fried chicken, and biscuits (for educational purposes, of course!) — Tennesseans want and deserve car insurance that makes sense for them.

If you buy the minimum auto insurance coverage required in Tennessee, you can expect to pay an average annual premium of $504. But even a minimum insurance rate can skyrocket across the state if you’re a young driver, have an infraction, have a lower credit tier, and/or live in a more expensive city.   Of course, many drivers also prefer to have insurance with more coverage in case of an accident; the average annual premium across the state is about $1,018 — which is about 28.5 percent lower than the national average. Insurers charge an average of $2,555 per year for policies that include a young driver.  Tennessee has its own unique rules of the road, including TCA 70-4-115. This allows wild game animals (excluding federally protected wildlife species and non-game animals) that are accidentally killed by a motor vehicle to be gathered and possessed for personal use and consumption.  Don’t be clingy! TCA 55-8-174 warns that it’s a Class C misdemeanor to attach yourself to a streetcar or vehicle while riding on roller skates, any bicycle, or toy vehicle. Clearly, that kind of behavior is beyond dangerous.  Nashville, aka NashVegas, has become one of the premier destinations for bachelorette parties, as well as bachelor parties and even divorce parties. On any given weekend, there might be about 150 groups partying in Music City. This means extra party buses, party tractors, and even pedal taverns on the roads.   From music lovers to nature enthusiasts to history buffs, Tennessee has so many iconic destinations — but the state also has an impressive collection of quirky roadside attractions that include the Drinking Elephant in Cross Plains, a life-size replica/museum of the RMS Titanic in Pigeon Forge (bonus points if you find Jack Dawson lingering around there), and the gravesite of Jack Daniels in Lynchburg.
