Lower Your 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty Car Insurance Cost
Searching for cheaper insurance rates? Consumers have a choice when looking for affordable Ford F-250 Super Duty insurance. You can either spend your time struggling with agents trying to get quotes or use the internet to get rate quotes.
There are both good and bad ways to shop for insurance so you’re going to learn the best way to quote coverages for a Ford and find the lowest possible price either online or from local insurance agents.
The method we recommend to compare rates utilizes the fact most insurance companies participate in online systems to compare rate quotes. The one thing you need to do is give the companies some data such as your general credit rating, whether or not you need a SR-22, driver details, and if you lease or own. That rating information is then submitted to insurance companies and you will get price comparisons within a short period of time.
Tailor your car insurance coverage to you
When choosing adequate coverage, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Every insured’s situation is different.
For instance, these questions could help you determine whether or not you could use an agent’s help.
- When should I buy a commercial auto policy?
- Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
- Am I missing any policy discounts?
- Is my vehicle covered by my employer’s policy when using it for work?
- Is a new car covered when I drive it off the dealer lot?
- Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form. It only takes a few minutes and can help protect your family.
Car insurance coverages and their meanings
Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Ford F-250 Super Duty.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Auto collision coverage
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox, hitting a parking meter, damaging your car on a curb and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Liability coverages
This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, structural damage and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills such as chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, pain medications and doctor visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Comprehensive insurance
This pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from getting keyed, vandalism and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

I’m in the north part of Indianapolis, IN. Got rates from Hanover, AIG Insurance, Safeco, and a couple others for my Ford and I’m now saving $25 a month. Ask about discounts. They were helpful in switching over. Liability only on my Ford.

Like your site, BTW. From northwest of Nashville, Tennessee. Got prices from American Family, Sentry, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty and saved $80 a year. Wish I didn’t have to insure at all.

If you’re a decent driver and live near Boston, MA, check out GEICO. They seem to be cheaper. I have kids on my policy, too. Hardly afford to drive anymore. Liability only on my Ford.

Does State Farm offer good discounts?

If you have a good history and live around Fayetteville, AR, check out State Farm. You might save some money. Insured with Erie before. A clean driving record helps.
