When the topic is auto insurance, the word cheap should not be used anywhere to describe car insurance rates. Please forgive the oxymoron, but cheap car insurance for a Ford F-150 can be difficult to find. But don’t let that discourage you, because we can show you some ways you can find and buy auto insurance that is cheaper than your current policy.
Finding affordable auto insurance for a Ford F-150 in North Dakota depends upon a lot of rating criteria like how you use your vehicle, whether or not you garage your vehicle, and blemishes on your driving record. Drivers in North Dakota on average pay approximately $1,010 a year for F-150 insurance, but that amount is a ballpark figure rating a 40-year-old single male who requires full physical damage coverage and $500 policy deductibles.
More than likely, you are not exactly 40 years old and possibly not even male, possibly married instead of single, or maybe you are just looking for cheap liability insurance. Every policy is rated specifically for the driver, so the best way to find cheap car insurance rates for your Ford is to do the rate comparisons yourself. Quotes are free and you will get price quotes from some of the best insurers available.
The trim level of your vehicle will have an impact the yearly cost, so the rate you will pay to insure a F-150 XL Regular Cab 2WD model will be $266 lower than the price to insure the high end F-150 Lariat Crew Cab Platinum 4WD trim level, as shown in the chart below.

You have a lot of ways to quote and buy auto insurance in North Dakota, but the most prevalent are through an independent or non-exclusive agent, a captive (or exclusive) agent like Liberty Mutual or State Farm, or direct from companies such as Progressive or Geico.
They all have the same end result, but each is different in how they price policies.
Independent agencies work for many companies and can get rate quotes from every one. Agents of this type are appointed with more than one company and can get prices from more than one company, which may give you a better chance of saving money. If your agent finds a cheaper company, it’s easy for the agent to move the policy which prevents you from having to find a new agency.
A captive, or exclusive, agent is ‘exlusive’ to a single company, examples being a State Farm or Liberty Mutual agent. Exclusive agents cannot compare other company’s rates, so you will not be able to compare other companys’ rates.
Consumers who buy auto insurance direct bypass an independent or exclusive agent and buy direct online or over the phone from a company like Geico or Progressive. This auto insurance option can be good for consumers who do not have a need for a risk management assessment and have an above average understanding of how their policy works.
What is the best way for finding the cheapest insurance for a Ford F-150 in North Dakota? Our initial answer would be buying from a direct company saves the most money since there is no need to pay agent commissions, but that turns out to not be true. We could also say that going through an independent agent guarantees the lowest rates due to more options, but that is not necessarily true either. In many cases, exclusive agents have really good rates that cannot be met by either independent or direct companies.
Since auto insurance prices vary so much, the one way to ensure you are not overpaying is to obtain price quotes and compare them. The best approach is to get quotes from all three in order to find the best price. For a list of companies with some of the cheapest North Dakota auto insurance rates, click here to view.
