5 Best Car Insurance Companies in North Dakota

We analyze the data to determine the best car insurance companies in ND. Our objective is to let consumers know the best insurance companies so you can make informed decisions when buying protection for you and your family.
Surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) it's often not the market share leaders that rank highest for best insurance. Why is that? The reason is the industry is focused on delivering low-cost offerings. Low prices often come at the expense of good claims handling.
ValChoice analysis includes price (value), claims handling (quality) and overall service as the three factors used in our ratings. Price is not the only factor that matters when buying quality coverage.

Types of North Dakota Car Insurance
North Dakota is known as a "no-fault" state for auto insurance. You may have also heard of no-fault insurance coverage by the name personal injury protection. No fault and personal injury protection are the same.
No Foult and Bodily injury
With no-fault insurance, it doesn't matter who causes an accident. Whether the accident is caused by you or someone else, the coverage you have under your insurance pays for your bodily injuries and your passengers bodily injuries. In the case your passengers are covered by their own insurance, their insurance will be the first to pay for their injuries.
The payment amount is capped at the coverage limit of the policy. The table above shows the minimum coverage limits. Minimum coverage limits means you must buy at least this much insurance coverage. In North Dakota the minimum personal injury protection coverage amount is $30,000.
If you are at fault and the other party (one or more people) has bodily injuries in excess of the their personal injury protection coverage, your bodily injury liability coverage will pay. This form of liability cover also pays only up to the coverage limits of your policy. If the coverage you purchased are less than the costs, you will be responsible for the amount above the coverage you bought. This means you will be personally responsible for the medical bills, lost wages, etc, of all the people that were injured. To avoid being personally responsible, you can purchase additional bodily injury liability coverage. Click this link for more information on car insurance coverage requirements in North Dakota.
Property Damage Protection
The property damage liability portion of your insurance coverage pays for repairs to the other person's vehicle or property. This works the same way as the bodily injury coverage, with the difference being it pays for the other parties property. The maximum amount the insurance will pay on your behalf is the coverage limit that you purchased. If you want coverage above the minimum amount, that can be purchased, but is not required. Coverage for your own vehicle can also be purchased.
