Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in North Dakota

All motor vehicles operated or parked on North Dakota roadways are required to be insured. Proof of insurance must be carried in your car at all times and must be available when:

  • Requested by law enforcement

  • Renewing vehicle registration

  • The vehicle is involved in a car accident

The minimum liability insurance requirements for private passenger vehicles in North Dakota[1] are:

  • $25,000 per person for bodily injury

  • $50,000 per accident for bodily injury

As a major part of your liability insurance, bodily injury coverage covers medical bills for people other than the policyholder who are injured during an accident. North Dakota is a no-fault state, meaning both parties’ insurance providers will pay for expenses, regardless of which party caused the accident.

  • $25,000 per accident for property damage

If it’s determined that an insured driver is at fault for an accident, this coverage pays for repairs to the property of the other involved parties. Additionally, property damage coverage can cover legal costs if the insured driver is involved in a lawsuit following the accident.

  • $30,000 per accident for PIP

Personal injury protection coverage, also referred to as PIP coverage, will cover the policyholder for medical payments they incur in the event of an accident. Depending on your plan, you may also receive non-medical benefits, compensating you for lost wages, household expenses, and even funeral costs.

  • $25,000 per person for uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury

  • $50,000 per accident for uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage pays for costs caused by a driver with little or no insurance after a car accident. In North Dakota, this coverage pays for bodily injury only.

Fargo Car Insurance Rates by Driver Age

While insurance rates are highest for young drivers in Fargo, rates typically decline as you get older—as long as you keep a clean driving record. Because of their limited driving exposure, younger drivers pose the most risk on the road, and insurance companies charge them accordingly. The difference in insurance rates between a teen and someone in their 50s is remarkable. While teen drivers pay an average of $282 for their monthly premiums, a skilled driver in their 50s pays just $89.

Fargo Car Insurance Rates by Driving and Accident History

Driving in North Dakota’s most populous city gives motorists all the more reason to keep their eyes on the road. Costly tickets aren’t the only consequence of running a red light in this town. Those who have driving violations on their record pay more for insurance than those who don’t. Why? Because driving behavior is a clear indicator of risk. The higher the risk you pose, the higher your insurance rates. Drivers with no violations in Fargo pay an average of $113 per month for insurance. Drivers ticketed for running a light or who have an at-fault accident to contend with pay $145 and $158, respectively.

Fargo Car Insurance Rates by Credit Tier

Accident history and age aren’t the only things that determine individual insurance rates. In most states, car insurance companies use a person’s credit-based insurance score as well. Why? Studies have shown that your ability to manage money can also be an indicator of risk. How much money you have isn’t a factor, and there are laws in place that prevent discrimination. In the case of credit-based insurance scores, your risk is related to things like outstanding debt, length of credit history, and whether you pay your bills on time. A driver with a good credit score in Fargo can expect to pay an average of $122 per month in car insurance premiums.
