At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Dodge Ram 1500
Before buying auto insurance, you should know what coverage you need and whether it fits your budget. If you finance or lease your pickup truck, you might have to carry full coverage. On the other hand, if you own your Ram 1500 outright, you might choose liability coverage only.
These are some of the most common truck insurance coverages:[4]
Liability coverage
Every state except New Hampshire requires drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance. This type of coverage includes bodily injury liability, so the other driver’s medical expenses are taken care of if you’re at fault. Liability coverage also includes property damage liability, which covers the other driver’s vehicle or other property you damage in an accident.
Collision coverage
When you have collision insurance, the insurance company pays to repair damage to your car if you’re in an accident with another vehicle or hit a stationary object, no matter who’s at fault.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays for damage not from an accident. This includes damage from weather, such as wind or hail, fire, vandalism, theft, and other non-collision incidents.
Uninsured motorist coverage
Uninsured motorist coverage helps pay your medical bills and vehicle repairs if a driver without insurance hits you or you’re the victim of a hit-and-run accident.

Methodology
Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.
Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).
Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
- Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
- Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
- No additional coverage
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
- Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
