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.
Of North Dakota’s largest cities, Grand Forks has the cheapest rates and Bismarck has the most expensive car insurance rates. Bismarck drivers could face rates 1.5 times more than Grand Forks drivers.

This state has a few minimum requirements when it comes to auto insurance coverage. So when you’re shopping for a policy, keep in mind that you must meet these standards to hit the road.
You might sometimes see these requirements written as 25/50/25.
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.
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.

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.
