Bankrate’s take: Men typically pay slightly higher car insurance premiums than women because they are considered riskier drivers. However, drivers may be able to lower their rates with discounts like good driver rewards, professional association discounts and by bundling their car insurance with home insurance.

Cost considerations for young drivers in North Dakota

Older teen drivers may consider getting their own policy, but it’s important to understand the financial impact. While 16- and 17-year-old drivers must be included on their parents’ policies  and don’t have an option to get their own, drivers aged 18 and older can choose. However, staying on a parents’ policy can provide substantial savings on average.

How to save on car insurance in North Dakota

Beyond choosing where you live, there are often several ways to save on car insurance. When trying to find the best cheap car insurance in North Dakota, it helps to combine multiple strategies for savings. Everything from discounts to policy details to the kind of driver you are can play a role in reducing costs.

  • Pursue discounts: Many auto insurance providers offer discounts. These savings can be attached to different requirements. Rewards for paperless billing, safe driving history, policy bundling and vehicle safety features are some common examples. The more discounts you qualify for and use, the more you may save on your rates.
  • Reduce coverage: If you have more than the legally required amount of car insurance, you can reduce your coverage limits. Doing so will reduce your premiums, but it is essential to note that it comes at the cost of reduced financial security around your vehicle.
  • Increase deductibles: Higher deductibles can often lead to lower rates, but this can be a risky method if you don’t consider your full financial picture. Your deductible is the amount you’re responsible for out of pocket, while your insurance company covers the rest, up your limits. So, a higher deductible could reduce rates, but will cost you more out of pocket if you need to file a claim.
  • Drive safe: Your driving record is one of the main factors that contributes to auto insurance rate calculations. By going a significant amount of time (generally three to five years) without having any traffic violations or insurance claims, you can often reduce your costs.

Methodology 

Bankrate utilizes Quadrant Information Services to analyze the latest rates in February 2024 for ZIP codes and carriers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates include the most recent approved rate changes filed by insurance companies that affect our profile. These revised rates are then weighted based on the population density in each geographic region so that policyholders can see the impact rates have in their areas. Quoted rates are based on a 40-year-old male and female driver with a clean driving record, good credit and the following full coverage limits:

  • $100,000 bodily injury liability per person
  • $300,000 bodily injury liability per accident
  • $50,000 property damage liability per accident
  • $100,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per person
  • $300,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per accident
  • $500 collision deductible
  • $500 comprehensive deductible

To determine minimum coverage limits, Bankrate used minimum coverage that meets each state’s requirements. Our base profile drivers own a 2022 Toyota Camry, commute five days a week and drive 12,000 miles annually.

These are sample rates and should only be used for comparative purposes.

Credit-based insurance scores: Rates were calculated based on the following insurance credit tiers assigned to our drivers: “poor, average, good (base) and excellent.” Insurance credit tiers factor in your official credit scores but are not dependent on that variable alone. Four states prohibit or limit the use of credit as a rating factor in determining auto insurance rates: California, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Michigan.

Incidents: Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the following incidents applied: clean record (base), at-fault accident, single speeding ticket and single DUI conviction.

Model: To determine cost by vehicle type, we evaluated our base profile with the following vehicles applied: BMW 330i, Ford F-150, Honda Odyssey, Toyota Prius and Toyota Camry (base).

Age: Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the ages 16-70 (base: 40 years) applied. Depending on age, drivers may be a renter or homeowner. Age is not a contributing rating factor in Hawaii and Massachusetts due to state regulations.

Gender: The following states do not use gender as a determining factor in calculating premiums: California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania.

Teens: Rates were determined by adding a 16- or 17-year-old teen to their 40-year-old married parents' policy. The rates displayed reflect the total cost of a driver this age added to their parents’ policy unless otherwise noted.
