Average car insurance costs for teens in Oregon

Car insurance costs an average of $5,819 per year for teen drivers in Oregon with coverage limits of 100/300/100-that’s $100,000 for one person’s injuries, $300,000 for all injuries in an accident, and $100,000 for property damage-plus $500 deductibles for collision and comprehensive coverage.

Teen drivers face higher car insurance rates than young adults or older drivers because they lack experience on the road. Insurers see them as higher risk, which leads to steeper premiums.

Insurance rates in Oregon also vary based on the coverage limits you choose, the type of car you drive, and the ZIP code you live in. Oregon families can lower costs by taking advantage of good student discounts, enrolling teens in a driving program and adding teens to an existing family policy rather than buying a separate one.

Teen car insurance costs in Oregon, by age

Premiums drop as teens gain experience. For example, a 16-year-old in Oregon with full coverage pays an average of $7,904 per year. By 19, the average rate is $4,045.

Though still higher than adult premiums, the steady decline shows how added years of driving lead to more affordable coverage.

Teen car insurance in Oregon, by gender

In most states, insurers can use gender when setting rates. California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania are the exceptions. In Oregon, a 16-year-old male driver pays about $8,277 annually, while a female of the same age pays $7,523 – a difference of $754.

Crash statistics back up this difference. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that 3,048 teenagers ages 13-19 died in vehicle crashes in 2023, and two out of three were male. Because young men are more often involved in serious accidents, insurers factor that risk into premiums.

The table below shows average teen car insurance rates in Oregon by gender.

AgeAverage annual premium for maleAverage annual premium for female
16$8,277$7,523

Minimum car insurance requirements for teens in Oregon

Like adults, teen drivers in Oregon must carry at least the state’s minimum liability coverage:

  • $25,000 per person for bodily injury
  • $50,000 per accident for bodily injury
  • $20,000 for property damage

These minimums provide only basic protection, and medical care or repairs costs can quickly exceed them. That’s why many families choose higher coverage – especially when adding a teen driver.

Lenders will also require comprehensive and collision coverage if your car is financed or leased. These cover damage to your own vehicle after an accident, theft, or severe weather.

Ways to save on teen car insurance in Oregon

While teen premiums are high, there are steps you can take to lower costs without cutting back on safety:

  • Check averages first. Knowing what others pay in your state helps you budget and spot quotes that are too high.
  • Choose a practical car. A safe, modest sedan is much cheaper to insure than a luxury or sports model.
  • Go beyond liability. Full coverage is pricier but offers better protection against accidents, injuries, and damage.
  • Use discounts. Good grades, safe driving programs, and low mileage can all reduce premiums.
  • Talk about responsibility. Help your teen understand that safe driving protects both lives and finances.
  • Review each year. Rates usually drop as teens gain experience and keep a clean record, so revisit your policy annually.

Helping your teen start off safely on the road

Adding a teen to your policy will raise your rates at first, but those costs don’t stay high forever. With each year of safe driving, premiums generally go down.

You can lower expenses by comparing quotes, bundling policies, and asking about discounts. More importantly, insuring your teen isn’t just about following state rules – it’s about protecting your finances and giving your young driver a safe, confident start on the road.
