Minimum Coverage Requirements in Oregon

The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles requires SR-22 filing for DUI convictions, suspensions due to excessive violations, at-fault accidents without insurance, and failure to pay traffic citations. Drivers completing their SR-22 requirement must maintain continuous coverage for the full filing period—typically 3 years—and can begin shopping standard carriers once the Oregon DMV confirms the requirement has ended.

Liability Insurance

Oregon's 25/50/20 minimums are mandatory for all drivers and must be certified via SR-22 for high-risk profiles. Post-SR22 drivers often qualify for 50/100/50 or 100/300/100 limits at competitive rates once the filing ends, which provides better protection and signals reliability to standard carriers.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Oregon requires uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage matching your liability limits unless you reject it in writing.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, comprehensive, and collision and is required by lenders if you finance or lease a vehicle.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive covers non-collision damage including theft, vandalism, weather, and animal strikes—common risks in Oregon where deer collisions and storm damage are frequent.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy but a filing that certifies you carry at least Oregon's minimum liability coverage. Non-standard carriers file SR-22 electronically with the Oregon DMV, and any lapse triggers immediate suspension. Once your 3-year requirement ends, the SR-22 itself is removed but the underlying violation remains on your Oregon driving record for 5 years, continuing to affect rates until it fully ages off.
