Oregon - OR Auto - Car Insurance
Oregon's State motto: "Alis volat propiis
("She Flies With Her Own Wings")"

Oregonians on average paid about $825 in insurance premiums in 2003, compared to the national average of about $914. Most people believe all these rates are fixed by insurance companies and state regulatory agencies, but in reality discounted and competitive rates are available in Oregon.

Even within the state of Oregon, rates have changed over the past few years. Comparing the current rate to the numbers from a few years back, the average auto insurance premium in 1999 was about $705, that's an increase of about 17.02% in 4 years!

Minimum State Insurance Requirements

The state of Oregon follows a Tort system meaning someone must be found to be at fault for causing the accident, and that person and their insurance company is responsible for all the damages. You should be aware that the details of a tort system vary from state to state and it is best to check with your state insurance regulator. Visit our State Insurance Regulators page for a list of links to all the state insurance regulators websites.

Oregon state law requires minimum Bodily Injury Liability coverage of $25,000 per injured person up to a total of $50,000 per accident, and Property Damage Liability coverage with a minimum limit of $10,000. This basic coverage is often referred to as 25/50/10 coverage.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in your coverage helps pay for "reasonable and necessary" medical expenses for you and your passengers. Oregon state law requires a minimum Personal Injury Protection coverage of $15,000.

To help protect against damages caused to you and your passengers by an uninsured driver, Oregon state law requires a minimum Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage of $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident for any bodily injury caused by the uninsured driver.
