North Dakota car insurance requirements
Every driver in North Dakota must carry at least this coverage. It’s a no-fault state: your own personal injury protection pays first for your injuries, whoever caused the crash.
| Coverage | Minimum required |
|---|---|
| Bodily injury liability | $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident |
| Property damage liability | $25,000 per accident |
| Personal injury protection (PIP) | $30,000 per person |
| Uninsured/underinsured motorist | $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident |
State minimums protect other people, not you or your car. Most drivers choose higher limits, plus collision and comprehensive if their car is financed or worth repairing.
What North Dakota drivers should know

- North Dakota is a no-fault state: your PIP pays your own medical costs and lost wages first.
Home insurance in North Dakota
- Tornadoes, hail and severe thunderstorms drive most home claims, and many policies use a separate wind and hail deductible — check the dollar amount it works out to.
- Roof age and material can change your price a lot; impact-resistant shingles may earn a discount.
- Long, severe winters bring frozen pipes and ice dams.
Ways to save in North Dakota
- Compare several companies. Prices for the same driver and home can vary widely between insurers — comparing is the fastest way to find a better rate.
- Bundle auto and home. Many insurers discount both policies when you buy them together.
- Raise your deductibles if you could comfortably pay more out of pocket after a claim.
- Ask about discounts for safe driving, paying in full, home security devices and newer roofs.
