average auto insurance rates

The Average Annual Premium for North Dakota car insurance was $1,086 this year, a far cry below the overall national average car insurance premium of $1,365 over the same time period.

The low average insurance rate in North Dakota may be a function of the state's very sparse population, combined with a relatively low crime rate, and a relatively low rate of uninsured drivers.

Minimum liability coverage on vehicles in North Dakota

For North Dakota auto owners, the minimum liability coverage required per vehicle is 20/50/25.

This means car owners in North Dakota must purchase at least

$20,000 in personal injury coverage
$50,000 in per-accident insurance to cover death or injury to others
$25,000 against property damage.

So the maximum payout for the state minimum car insurance in North Dakota is $95,000 per accident.

However, this amount may not be enough to cover the costs of a real accident, and can lead to huge out-of-pocket expenses.

That's why a lot of North Dakota drivers buy more than the minimum coverage required by law.

penalties for uninsured drivers

Drivers in North Dakota ticketed for operating uninsured vehicles face a minimum fine of $150, and a suspended registration until proof of insurance is provided.

Repeat offenses that occur less than 18 months apart face fines of at least $300.
