Minimum Coverage Requirements in North Dakota

The state operates a three-stage graduated driver licensing (GDL) system: learner's permit at age 14, intermediate license at 15 (with passenger and nighttime restrictions), and full unrestricted license at 16. North Dakota law mandates that all auto insurers offer good student discounts to drivers under 25 who maintain at least a B average, making it one of the few states where this discount is a legal requirement rather than a carrier option.

Liability Insurance

North Dakota's 25/50/25 minimum is lower than the national median, but parents adding teen drivers should consider higher limits. Many parents in North Dakota carry 100/300/100 or 250/500/100 to protect household assets when a teen driver is on the policy.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

North Dakota requires insurers to offer UM/UIM at the same limits as your liability coverage, though you can reject it in writing. For parents of teen drivers with limited defensive driving experience, rejecting this coverage increases financial exposure if your teen is hit by an uninsured driver.

Collision Coverage

Collision pays for damage to your teen's vehicle regardless of fault. It's required by lenders if the vehicle is financed or leased.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive covers theft, vandalism, hail, and animal collisions—all common in North Dakota's rural areas. Deer collisions are particularly frequent in western and central counties.

Full Coverage

"Full coverage" commonly means liability plus collision and comprehensive. For teen drivers in financed or newer vehicles, this is the standard package.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Graduated licensing status: some insurers offer small discounts when a teen completes the intermediate license phase without violations, recognizing reduced risk
