Through a cooperation with Insurtech Metro mile, Ford began selling pay-per-mile auto insurance (also known as Usage-Based Insurance, or UBI) in 2020.
If you're a Ford fanatic or are thinking about buying one, you might be wondering how much it will cost to insure your Ford. In the United States, comprehensive coverage costs an average of $1,674 per year.
Insurance premiums, on the other hand, are influenced by demographic characteristics such as age, gender, and region, as well as personal criteria such as your claims history, coverage needs, and vehicle type.
As a result, all of these factors are likely to have an impact on the annual cost of auto insurance coverage. Car insurance companies calculate premiums differently, so the make and model of your vehicle may have an impact on the cost of your coverage.
Consider the following average cost differences based on your specific Ford model, before deciding which insurance carrier is suitable for you.
Ford Motor Company was founded in 1903 by Henry Ford and 11 associate investors as an American automobile manufacturer. The firm was reincorporated in 1919, giving Ford, his wife, Clara, and their son, Edsel, complete ownership; they, their heirs, and the Ford Foundation (founded 1936) were the sole stakeholders until January 1956, when the common stock was first offered for public sale.
Automobile parts and accessories, as well as passenger automobiles and trucks, are produced by the company. Dearborn, Michigan is where the company's headquarters are located.
According to our research, the Ford Escape is the most affordable Ford vehicle to insure, costing an average of $1,812 per year for a 30-year-old male. The Ford Mustang is the costliest Ford model in our group to insure, costing an average of $2,710 per year.
Insuring an older Ford Mustang is usually less expensive. This is because comprehensive and collision insurance become less expensive as a car's value depreciates.
The average cost of auto insurance for a 2005 Ford Mustang is $1,163, while a 2020 model is $1,797. That's a $634 difference every year.
Depending on the model year, different insurers may offer cheaper coverage. At $1,555 per year, USAA is the lowest insurance company for a 2020 Ford Mustang.

Because insurance companies generally base their prices on local, state, or national data, a vehicle that is less likely to be involved in a claim may be less expensive to insure. Ford is noted for having a number of safety features that help to reduce the chances of a serious accident:
BLIS: For decades, blind spots have been a cause of major car accidents. BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a system that detects prospective automobiles in blind spots and alerts the driver, allowing them to safely change lanes or enter a roadway.
Lane-Keeping System: Sideswiping another vehicle is another prevalent cause of car accidents. Ford uses a Lane-Keeping System to prevent sideswipe accidents by alerting drivers when they have drifted too far from the center of their respective lane
Rear-end collisions: These are another prevalent sort of car accident that requires evasive steering assistance. When a car ahead of you abruptly slows or stops, Ford's Evasive Steering Assist technology alerts the driver and provides steering support for smooth handling.
One of the most affordable Ford vehicles to insure is the Escape. The average annual pricing for Ford Escape insurance among top carriers ranges from $1,085 to $1,3865 for full coverage and $356 to $462 for minimal coverage (by market share).

Ford drivers can get coverage for their vehicles through the Ford company's Ford Insure usage-based insurance scheme. The manufacturer offers Nationwide-underwritten insurance that uses connected vehicle data to provide discounts for responsible driving.
Ford Insure is offered to owners of eligible vehicles manufactured after the year 2020. Enrolling drivers receive a 10% discount, and after a four- to six-month trial period, drivers earn a discount of up to 40%. The concept is comparable to the Smart Ride program offered by Nationwide.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Owners of models 2020 and later are eligible. | Except for Oklahoma, Alaska, and Massachusetts, every state can avail of it. |
| Upon enrolment, you will receive a 10% discount, and after 4-6 months, you will receive a 40% discount. | Discounts are limited to models other than the 2020 F-150 and Fusion Plug-in Hybrid |
Certain features of owning a Ford can affect your insurance premiums; therefore, drivers should be aware of this:
Price of parts: The typical cost of repairs for a car is always a consideration when an insurance company pays out a claim. Your insurance rate will almost certainly be greater if your car requires expensive repairs owing to imported or hard-to-find parts than a vehicle that is easier and less expensive to fix. Fords are widely used in the United States, with the Ford F-150 being the best-selling vehicle for more than 40 years. Mechanics can typically locate the parts required for repairs.
Safety features: As technology advances, vehicle safety features in all Ford vehicles are becoming more advanced. Emergency braking, automatic high lights, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and evasive steering may be available depending on the year and model of your Ford. If the features have been statistically proved to prevent accidents, you may find that a vehicle with top safety features has a lower auto insurance price.
BLIS
For decades, blind spots have been a cause of serious car accidents. BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a system that detects prospective automobiles in blind spots and alerts the driver, allowing them to safely change lanes or enter a roadway.
Lane Keeping System
Sideswiping another vehicle is another prevalent cause of car accidents. Ford uses a Lane-Keeping System to assist in preventing sideswipe accidents by alerting drivers when they have drifted too far from the center of their lane.
Evasive Steering Assist
When it comes to car accidents, rear-end collisions are a typical occurrence. When a car ahead of you abruptly slows or stops, Ford's Evasive Steering Assist technology alerts the driver and provides steering support for smooth handling.
Almost all states require Ford owners to get car insurance. States that need car insurance often have a minimum coverage requirement that includes liability insurance and, in some cases, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. You may also be obliged to carry personal injury protection if you live in a no-fault state (PIP).
If your car is financed or leased, however, minimum coverage insurance may not provide appropriate coverage or may not be a choice. If you own a Ford, you should consider upgrading to a full coverage policy that includes collision and comprehensive coverage to safeguard your car in the case of an accident. Your lender may demand you carry these coverages if your Ford is financed or leased.
