Drivers in the Beaver State, like those in most states, must have valid Oregon auto insurance to legally operate a motor vehicle. Unusually stringent, the state's Department of Motor Vehicles conducts a monthly random survey to ensure drivers' compliance with Oregon car insurance laws. Those caught with insufficient Oregon auto coverage face stiff penalties, including license suspension.

Oregon car insurance companies must provide policies that meet state mandated coverage minimums for property damage, bodily injury, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and uninsured motorist liability. Many light commercial vehicles, such as SUVs, passenger cars and vans, carry the same liability minimums as personal vehicles.

Purchasing the right business car insurance in Oregon will allow you to:

1. Operate vehicles for commercial purposes.
2. Bundle policies to save money on Oregon auto insurance and other business coverage.
3. Avoid unnecessary legal costs for failure to meet liability coverage minimums for car insurance in Oregon

Compare Oregon auto insurance companies' reputations


The state of Oregon oversees the activities of insurance companies, thoroughly investigating consumer complaints and publishing relevant information online. Many consumer advocacy and education agencies also publish ratings and rankings of car insurance issuers.

I recommend: The Insurance Division of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services publishes yearly guides that detail the number of complaints against Oregon insurance companies and their corresponding ranking. J.D. Power and Associates rates car insurance companies based on rate competitiveness and customer service quality. For information about insurance carriers' financial strength, visit Insure.com and search by company name or by Standard and Poor's alphabetical rating system.

Purchase car insurance in Oregon that complies with state law and maintain accurate records


According to Oregon state law, business owners must insure every car registered in their company's name. Each vehicle's policy must cover $25,000 bodily injury per policyholder, $50,000 bodily injury per crash for all other involved people and $10,000 per accident for property damage. In addition, you must carry $15,000 PIP per person and uninsured motorist coverage at $25,000 per person and $50,000 bodily injury per accident.

I recommend: The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles provides information about state auto insurance requirements and penalties for vehicle owner noncompliance.  Some vehicles, such as farm trailers and tractors, are exempt from Oregon liability coverage minimums.
