How much is Ford F-250 insurance in Indiana?
For the driver profile in our methodology, a 2024 Ford F-250 costs between $36/mo at the state minimum and $312/mo for low-deductible full coverage. Most owners land in the full-coverage row — lenders and lessors require it.
| Coverage level | What it covers | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum Coverage | Other people's injuries and property only | $36 – $59 | $432 – $708 |
| Liability Only | Higher limits; still nothing for your car | $67 – $111 | $804 – $1,332 |
| Full CoverageMost ownersYou’re viewing this tier | Adds damage to your F-250, theft, glass | $159 – $264 | $1,908 – $3,168 |
| Full Coverage + Low Deductible | Same, with less out of pocket per claim | $187 – $312 | $2,244 – $3,744 |
What full coverage includes
- Liability at recommended limits, above 25/50/25
- Comprehensive: theft, hail, vandalism, fire, animal strike, glass
- Collision on the F-250, $500 deductible
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist — not listed as part of the state minimum here
What Indiana requires to drive a F-250
Indiana lists 25/50/25 as the liability floor. That is what makes a F-250 legal to drive — not full coverage, not a $500 deductible, and not a particular carrier.
- Liability floor
- 25/50/25
- Fault system
- Indiana is a tort (at-fault) state — the driver who causes a crash is who liability pays for.
- PIP
- PIP is not a required minimum in this state.
- Uninsured motorist in the minimum
- UM/UIM is not listed as part of the state minimum in our registry — it is typically added, not assumed.
- Uninsured-driver share (from state notes)
- About 6% — cited in this state’s notes that feed the page, not a live NAIC pull.
F-250 insurance cost by model year
Newer models cost more to insure — a 2024 F-250 runs about 17% more than a 2020 — because comp and collision track replacement value and parts cost. Liability barely moves with age.
| Model year | Full coverage / mo | Liability / mo | vs. 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $159 – $264 | $67 – $111 | — |
| 2023 | $151 – $251 | $66 – $110 | −5% |
| 2022 | $145 – $240 | $66 – $109 | −9% |
| 2021 | $138 – $230 | $64 – $107 | −13% |
| 2020 | $132 – $219 | $63 – $104 | −17% |
F-250 vs. comparable vehicles
How the F-250 stacks up against the vehicles shoppers most often cross-shop it with — the Ford F-150 insures for about 14% less in Indiana. Same coverage, same driver profile.
| Vehicle | Full coverage / mo | vs. F-250 | Why it differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford F-250 | $159 – $264 | — | Above-average claim severity |
| Chevrolet Silverado 2500 | $159 – $264 | — | Silverado HD matches capability; GM parts run slightly cheaper. |
| Ford F-150 | $137 – $228 | −14% | F-150 insures lower — lighter duty, cheaper components. |
| Ram 1500 | $137 – $228 | −14% | Ram 1500 benchmarks the light-duty alternative most HD buyers cross-shop. |
F-250 insurance cost by Indiana city
Indianapolis drivers pay about 15% above the state average while Evansville runs 5% below. City pricing follows claim frequency — dense-metro traffic and repair costs carry the surcharge.
| City | Full coverage / mo | vs. IN average |
|---|---|---|
| Indianapolis | $183 – $304 | +15% |
| Gary | $175 – $290 | +10% |
| South Bend | $157 – $261 | −1% |
| Fort Wayne | $154 – $256 | −3% |
| Evansville | $151 – $251 | −5% |
Why F-250 insurance costs what it costs
Full coverage on a 2024 Ford F-250 in Indiana stacks recommended liability limits on top of 25/50/25, plus comprehensive and collision at a $500 deductible. Lenders and lessors typically require that stack for the life of the loan; Indiana law itself does not.
The F-250 is a pickup in the luxury / EV MSRP tier, with above-average claim severity in our model and a 4-star NHTSA overall rating in our registry. It is not on the NICB top-100 most-stolen list in our registry, so theft is not a modeled comprehensive surcharge here.
About 58% of this modeled full-coverage premium is comprehensive and collision — the part that tracks the F-250's replacement and repair cost rather than Indiana's liability floor. The $250-deductible sibling is $187 – $312.
Indianapolis is modeled 15% above the IN average ($183 – $304/mo full coverage on this F-250); Evansville is modeled 5% below at $151 – $251. Those city factors scale the same band as the hero — they are not a second rate file. Indiana's notes cite a roughly 6% uninsured-driver share. UM/UIM is not listed as part of the state minimum here, so it is a separate decision — and the piece that typically pays your injuries when the other driver has no (or not enough) liability.

Is full coverage the right tier for you?
- The F-250 is financed or leased — the lender’s contract typically requires comprehensive and collision
- You want a modeled $159 – $264/mo cap on repairing this luxury / EV-tier pickup instead of paying a shop out of pocket
- You drive in Indiana, where this page’s notes cite a roughly 6% uninsured-driver share — UM/UIM is the injury backstop when the other driver cannot pay
- A paid-off F-250 whose actual cash value is well below ~$1,908–$3,168 a year in modeled full-coverage premium
- Very low annual miles where you would rather keep liability and drop the first-party lines
- Drivers who already keep $500+ reserved and want to price the $250-deductible tier ($187 – $312) before deciding
$500 vs $250 deductible on a F-250
On a F-250 this model prices a $250 deductible at $28–$48/mo above the $500 deductible. You save $250 per comprehensive or collision claim; you pay the extra premium every month whether you claim or not.

Add-ons that are not automatic on full coverage
These are typical market add-ons, not Indiana mandates and not priced in our rate model. Confirm each line on a quote.
- Rental reimbursement
If this F-250 is your only car, a shop visit without a rental add-on is an out-of-pocket week.
Not automatic on full coverage. Typical market price cited elsewhere on this site is $5–15/mo — confirm on the quote, do not treat that as a filed IN rate.
- Loan/lease payoff (gap)
New or financed Ford F-250: actual cash value after a total loss can sit below the loan.
State law does not require gap. Lenders sometimes sell it at the dealership; price it against the same add-on on the auto policy.
- Roadside assistance
Useful on a pickup you drive far from a dealer network — towing, lockout, flat.
2024 vehicles may still have factory roadside; stacking two roadside products rarely helps.
- Medical payments (MedPay)
Indiana does not require PIP, so MedPay is the usual small first-party medical add-on for occupants.
It is not a substitute for health insurance, and it is not required in this state.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist
Indiana notes cite a roughly 6% uninsured-driver share, and UM is not in the listed minimum.
This is usually the highest-leverage add-on on a minimum or liability-only policy. Confirm reject/stack rules on the quote.
Carriers that commonly quote Indiana
These are carriers we have real logos for and that commonly quote Indiana. We do not publish a per-carrier F-250 price — that would be a fabricated quote. The range on this page is the modeled band, not “from $X at GEICO.”

How to lower your F-250 rate
- Raise your deductible to $1,000. On a F-250 premium this is the single biggest lever you control directly.Saves ~$17–$32/mo
- Shop at least three carriers. Rates for the identical F-250 profile differ by 2x or more between carriers in Indiana.Saves up to $1,000+/yr
- Clean up billing. Paid-in-full, paperless, and autopay credits stack — small individually, real together, and none are applied unless you ask.Saves 3–8%
- Ask about safety-tech discounts. Automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, and anti-theft equipment all carry filed credits with some carriers — none are applied unless you ask.Saves 3–8%
- Report your real mileage. Commuting under ~10,000 miles a year moves you down a rating band with most carriers, and pay-per-mile programs go further if you drive little.Saves 5–15%
- Bundle home or renters. Multi-policy is the largest standing discount most carriers file — typically 10–20% off the auto side.Saves 10–20%
About these numbers
Sources. Rate ranges are modeled from average premiums published by the Indiana Department of Insurance and industry rate data, adjusted per vehicle using NICB theft rankings, NHTSA safety ratings, MSRP tier, and repair-severity data. They are estimates, not filed quotes.
Rating profile. Unless noted: a 35–55-year-old driver with a clean record, average credit where states allow it, 12,000 annual miles, and standard $500 comprehensive and collision deductibles. Your rate will differ — that is the point of quoting.
Ranges, not averages. We publish a band rather than a single average because the spread between carriers for the same driver routinely exceeds 2x — a lone number hides the gap that makes shopping worth your time.
What this model does not do. It does not publish age-band prices, ticket/DUI/credit surcharge tables, per-carrier quotes, J.D. Power ranks, NAIC complaint indexes, or IIHS/HLDI scores. Vehicle knobs are only the four in the rate model: MSRP tier, NICB theft rank, NHTSA stars, and repair-severity tier. The $250-deductible band is the $500 band × 1.18.
Ford F-250 insurance in Indiana: FAQ
01Is full coverage required on a financed F-250 in Indiana?
Typically yes, by contract — not by Indiana statute. The state floor is 25/50/25. A lender can force-place a policy if you drop comprehensive or collision. This page models the $500-deductible stack at $159 – $264.
02What does Indiana actually require to drive a F-250?
Indiana lists 25/50/25 as the liability floor. Full coverage is a market/lender product on top of that, modeled here at $159 – $264 for a 2024 Ford F-250.
03Should I add uninsured-motorist coverage on a F-250 in Indiana?
Indiana's notes cite a roughly 6% uninsured-driver share, and UM/UIM is not listed as part of the state minimum. Collision (on full coverage) can still repair the F-250 after a hit-and-run; UM/UIM is what typically pays your injuries when the other driver cannot.
04Does F-250 insurance cost more in Indianapolis than in Evansville?
In this model, yes — Indianapolis is 15% vs the IN average ($183 – $304/mo full coverage) and Evansville is -5% ($151 – $251). Same 2024 Ford F-250, same driver profile; only the city factor changes.
05When does dropping collision on an older F-250 in Indiana make sense?
When the car’s actual cash value is no longer worth a modeled $1,908–$3,168 a year in full coverage. A common rule of thumb is to drop first-party coverages when 10× the annual premium exceeds the car’s value — keep the liability portion either way. Indiana still wants 25/50/25 on the road.
