Average car insurance costs in North Dakota

Drivers in this state can generally expect to pay right around the national average for their car insurance, which was in the ballpark of $1,250 to $1,350 annually in 2017. This works out to about $105 to $115 monthly. So if you’re older than 25 and there are no big issues on your driving record, this could be close to what you’ll pay for your coverage.

Location can play a large role in your car insurance rates, but admittedly it’s less evident in North Dakota than it would be in say, New York. The more expensive places in North Dakota to insure a car are cities like Fargo, because with city living comes an elevated risk of traffic accidents, theft, vandalism and other issues that commonly result in insurance claims. And as for the cheaper parts of North Dakota to get car insurance, look to the small towns and rural areas — the lower the population density, the cheaper it typically is to buy coverage.

Car insurance requirements in North Dakota

How do I get SR-22 insurance in North Dakota?

This is something your insurer will do for you once you let them know it’s being required by law. Typically when you have to file an SR-22 form in North Dakota, there’s a court order involved.

North Dakota Automobile Insurance Plan (NDAIP)

The North Dakota Automobile Insurance Plan can help high-risk drivers find minimum insurance coverage by assigning them to one of several area providers. All North Dakota car insurance companies are required to participate in the plan, so that every driver on the road is provided proper coverage. However, if you apply for coverage through the NDAIP, you can probably expect to pay more for your car insurance.

Bottom line

Since North Dakota requires you to carry car insurance and because you face financial and legal consequences if you don’t, your best route is to look for a conventional car insurance policy that works for you.

Questions about North Dakota car insurance

• Will my insurance rates go up if I file a claim?

  Any insurance provider will reserve the right to increase rates as it sees fit. You could see more expensive rates after filing a claim.

  Though you can take your business elsewhere if you feel a price increase is unfair or unreasonable. If your provider has recently increased your rates, you may want to try discussing the matter with an agent before cancelling your policy — maybe there’s room for negotiation, or a discount you didn’t know you qualified for, that would make it worthwhile to stay with that insurer.

• Can I get mileage-based insurance in North Dakota?

  Unfortunately, not yet. Esurance is only offering this kind of coverage in Oregon, and Metromile has offerings in several states but North Dakota isn’t one of them. Both providers are looking to expand their offerings soon.

  It’s also worth noting that some insurance companies will give you low-mileage discounts if you drive fewer than 8,000 miles annually. If you fit the bill, you could be eligible for those savings in spite of not having a true mileage-based policy. Contact your agent to see if this is an option with your insurance company.
