Podium Vehicles: Insured Or Not?

Podium vehicles in Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Online are highly sought-after prizes that players can win by spinning the Lucky Wheel in the Diamond Casino & Resort. Each week, players have a 1 in 20 chance to win the vehicle featured on the podium, which recently included the Declasse Drift Tampa, a two-door wide-body drifting car, and the BF Weevil, a 2-door compact car. While some players wonder if these podium vehicles come with insurance, it is not explicitly mentioned in the sources. However, one player expressed concern about driving their podium car without insurance, indicating that insurance might be an additional consideration for winners.

GTA Online Podium Vehicle

In GTA Online, players can spin the Lucky Wheel in the Diamond Casino & Resort once per day to try and win the Podium Vehicle, the most coveted prize. The Podium Vehicle is a rotating prize vehicle that changes weekly and is available for a discounted price. While the spins are free, players need to purchase a $500 membership at the front desk to access them. Other prizes include clothes, discount coupons for various vehicles, and a mystery prize that can occasionally be worth more than the podium car. The odds of winning the Podium Vehicle are about 1 in 20, and players can improve their chances by using a simple technique.

To win the Podium Vehicle, players should start a private session to ensure the Lucky Wheel is fresh and then interact with the wheel. Once the 'Use to spin' bar pops up, players should count to four and then flick the left analog stick up and then down.

While it is not explicitly stated that the Podium Vehicles come with insurance, one Reddit user expressed relief that their Oppressor had insurance.

The Pegassi Reaper, valued at $1,595,000, was the Podium Vehicle for the week of May 30, 2024. The Declasse Drift Tampa, valued at $995,000, was the Podium Vehicle for the week of June 13, 2024. As of June 20, 2024, the Podium Vehicle is the BF Weevil, a 2-door compact car valued at $870,000 or $652,000 (trade price).
