Car Insurance Quotes for a Ford Ranger

The average annual premium for a Ford Ranger is $1,566 for full coverage and $625 for minimum liability.

In most states, a liability-only car insurance policy consisting of bodily injury and property damage liability is required. This pays for injury and damages incurred by other drivers when you cause a crash. Additionally, depending on what state you live in, your policy may require uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) to cover your costs of medical bills and vehicle repairs.

If you would like to explore all of your options, Freeway Insurance agents are ready to lend a hand. We’ll present several options, including state minimum liability and full coverage policies that meet your budget.

Many affordable auto insurance options are available for Ford Ranger drivers, starting with basic liability-only packages and full coverage with add-ons like roadside assistance and rental car reimbursement.

Full Coverage 

Full coverage insurance typically packages liability, collision, and comprehensive. These offer first and third-party benefits for broader protections in the event of an at-fault accident. 

Liability provides third-party benefits, paying for the cost of damages and injuries sustained by other people or property in an accident you cause. In turn, collision pays for the cost of repairs to your vehicle, no matter who is at fault.

Comprehensive pays for non-collision-related damages caused by natural disasters, falling tree limbs, theft, vandalism, and similar situations.

A full policy offers greater protection than a state minimum liability policy. Even if it costs several hundred dollars more per year, it is well worth it for most people, as a single car accident could easily cause more damage to your vehicle and your passengers than to third parties.

State Minimum Liability 

All states require that drivers carry minimum liability for bodily injury and property damage.

For example, Idaho drivers must carry $25,000 in bodily injury per person, $50,000 in total bodily injury per accident, and $15,000 in property damage per accident.

It is highly recommended to opt for the highest liability limits, e.g., 100/300/100. A single accident could be responsible for $120,000 worth of medical bills, lost wages, and close to the same amount of property damage, so Idaho’s liability minimums would be barely enough to cover.

Remember, the higher your liability limits, the less likely you will have to pay for damages and injuries out of pocket.

Several factors affect the premiums drivers pay, including driving history, age/gender, type of vehicle, coverage limits, amount of deductible, and zip code of residence.

Age is a large deciding factor in determining your rates. Generally, younger drivers pay higher premiums due to higher claims volume, lack of driving experience, and higher on-average traffic violations.

Another factor is the type of vehicle you drive. Cars that are more expensive to repair or replace and have a higher likelihood of theft generally have higher rates. This is why Tesla Model X premiums cost significantly higher than a 1997 Honda Civic, as repairs on electric vehicles command higher mechanical expertise and parts (and thus, higher premiums).

Lastly, remember how your policy can be structured. For example, drivers who choose lower coverage limits and higher deductibles almost always see lower premiums.

Unfortunately, any DUI conviction will have a detrimental effect on a driver’s premiums.

For starters, expect your rates to be double or triple, depending on several factors. These factors include the time since your last DUI conviction, whether it’s a first offense or subsequent one, and the nature of the offense (e.g., resulting in injury and/or death).

On top of elevated premiums, expect fines, reinstatement fees, legal fees, and even fees associated with participating in alcohol treatment programs.

On top of that (and depending on the state), you may be required to file an SR-22 or FR-44, a certificate of financial responsibility that lets insurance companies know that you are adhering to the state’s minimum liability requirements. 

Suppose your premiums have increased after the DUI conviction. In that case, it is highly recommended that you maintain a clean driving record free of claims, at-fault accidents, or moving violations for the next three years. Compare insurers to find a cheap DUI insurance policy. Assuming a clean driving record, your rate should eventually drop over time.
