Ford drivers pay an average of $140 per month for car insurance, $10 less than the national average for all vehicles. Insurance for a Ford often costs less because parts are widely available, and many models come with strong safety ratings.
Regardless of your Ford model, you can lower your auto insurance costs by comparing quotes and asking about discounts. This article breaks down the average rates for Ford vehicles, the cheapest insurers, and how different factors affect your car insurance.
Ford drivers pay an average monthly rate of $98 for liability-only insurance and $181 for full-coverage insurance.
Travelers, State Farm, and Nationwide are some of the best insurers for Ford owners.
Travelers offers the cheapest rate for Ford cars, at $82 per month.
What You Can Expect to Pay to Insure Your Ford
The table below shows the average liability and full-coverage car insurance rates for Ford vehicles compared to the national average for all makes, according to Compare.com data.
Vehicle Type | Average Monthly Premium: Liability Coverage | Average Monthly Premium: Full Coverage | Overall Average for All Policies |
---|---|---|---|
Ford | $98 | $181 | $140 |
All makes | $108 | $198 | $150 |
Ford drivers pay an average of $98 per month for liability coverage and $181 per month for full coverage car insurance. Both averages are slightly cheaper than the averages for all vehicles.
Average Ford Insurance Costs by Model
The Ford model you drive affects your average insurance premium. For example, lower-cost vehicles like sedans or compact SUVs are usually cheaper to insure.[1] High-performance models and newer trucks often have higher rates due to their horsepower and theft risk.
Your coverage levels also play an important role in your insurance costs. Basic liability coverage costs less because it only covers damages you cause others. Full coverage is typically more expensive because it offers more financial protection, like comprehensive and collision coverage.
The table below lists the average premiums for various Ford models, according to Compare.com data.
Model | Average Liability Premium | Average Full-Coverage Premium |
---|---|---|
Bronco | $105 | $193 |

The Mustang Mach-E tops the list, at $301 per month for full coverage and $162 per month for liability coverage. But you can reduce your costs by shopping around and looking for the cheapest car insurance company.
The Cheapest Ford Insurance Companies
Even though Ford drivers typically pay below-average rates, you always have ways to save on your car insurance. Rates can vary by factors like your location and driving history, so you should compare quotes from multiple companies. Using a car insurance comparison site can save you time and money.

Travelers has some of the most affordable rates for Ford drivers. The insurer also offers a wide variety of discounts, including for buying a hybrid vehicle, paying your premium in full, and owning a home.
That said, coverage options can vary by state, so double-check that Travelers offers the coverage you need where you live. The company also has bad customer reviews on Trustpilot.

Liability Only Liability-only insurance, sometimes called minimum-coverage insurance, pays for bodily injury and property damage to others in an accident the policyholder causes. It does not pay for the insured’s own damages. | $56/mo |
Full Coverage Full-coverage car insurance generally includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, and may include other optional coverages such as uninsured motorist coverage. Collision covers a policyholder’s repair or replacement costs in case of an accident. Comprehensive covers damages caused by non-accident events. The average quote displayed here reflects policies with the following coverage limits: $50,000 bodily injury liability per person; $100,000 bodily injury liability per accident; $50,00 property damage liability per accident; $1,000 collision deductible; and a $1,000 comprehensive deductible. | $109/mo |
Customers appreciate the helpful agents and prompt claim handling, but many are unhappy with the constant rate increases, even for safe drivers. Some also reported poor customer service.

State Farm is an excellent option for anyone with a good driving history. The company’s Drive Safe & Save program helps safe drivers save up to 30% on their premiums. The insurer also offers a wide range of coverage options, including rideshare coverage.
But State Farm can be more expensive than other companies — especially if you’re a high-risk driver. The company also doesn’t offer gap insurance, so you may want to look elsewhere if you finance your car.

How to Choose the Right Coverage for Your Ford
Everyone wants to find cheap car insurance rates, but it’s also important to find the right coverage levels. The amount of car insurance you need depends on factors like your budget, daily mileage, and your vehicle’s value.
Here are a few things to consider when looking for a policy:
Consider your vehicle’s value. If you drive a new or higher-end Ford, you may want to buy full-coverage insurance to offset the higher replacement costs. But if you’ve paid off your car, minimum liability coverage may be enough.
Think about your vehicle usage. If you commute to work or frequently drive long distances, you’ll probably want more comprehensive insurance coverage. Infrequent drivers may be fine with pay-per-mile coverage.
Compare your coverage options. Liability insurance meets your state’s minimum-coverage requirements and covers damages and injuries you cause to others. Full-coverage policies include comprehensive and collision coverage, which cover things like accidents, theft, and weather damage.
Consider your risk tolerance. Choose policy limits and a deductible that meet your budget and risk tolerance requirements. A higher deductible can lower your premium, but it also means higher out-of-pocket costs if you file any insurance claims. Make sure your limits are high enough to protect you if you cause a serious crash.[5]
How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your Ford
Ford vehicles tend to have cheaper car insurance, but there are still ways to bring your premiums down even more. Here are five tips to help you save:
Choose a model with strong safety ratings. Many Ford vehicles qualify for safety-related discounts thanks to features like lane assist, backup cameras, and blind-spot monitoring.
Limit your mileage. If you don’t drive your Ford often, you may be eligible for a low-mileage discount.
Bundle your insurance policies. You can get a multi-policy discount by combining your Ford auto policy with homeowners, renters, or life insurance.
Take advantage of usage-based programs. Many insurers offer telematics programs with discounts of up to 30% or more for safe driving.
Shop around regularly. Rates change frequently, and the cheapest company today might not be the best deal next year. You should always compare quotes before making any policy changes.[6]
