How much does non-owner auto insurance cost in North Dakota?

Non-owner insurance is usually less expensive than full coverage car insurance—insurers consider non-owner policyholders as less of a risk because they have limited access to a vehicle.

On average in the U.S., it costs a driver with a clean driving record and good credit score $1,682 per year for a 100/300/100 full coverage insurance policy—$100,000 for injuries you cause in an accident, up to $300,000 per accident, and $100,000 for property damage. Full coverage car insurance is $1,295 in North Dakota.

Meanwhile, non-owner auto insurance costs $353 a year on average in the United States and $220 in North Dakota.

But actual rates are based on where in North Dakota you live, your age and driving history and other points.
