Best Car Insurance for Drivers With
Bad Credit in Oklahoma

A poor credit score can negatively impact your financial well-being, especially when you need to borrow money for a car or house. Bad credit can also raise your insurance rates. A few states prohibit car insurance companies from using a driver's credit history as a factor in determining their rate. Unfortunately, Oklahoma is not one of those states. Most companies will run your credit if you try to get coverage.

While a poor credit score won't prevent you from getting coverage like it might a loan, you should expect to pay a higher insurance premium.

It is possible to get car insurance without a credit check in Oklahoma. There's a catch, however. Car insurance companies that don't check credit scores often charge higher premiums. Insurance companies that run credit checks do so to calculate how much risk comes with covering a driver. Without that check, the risk calculation is incomplete, and companies will charge more for coverage to compensate for that.

You may not want to go through a credit check, but it might be worth it to see if you can pay less for coverage with a standard car insurance company in Oklahoma.

Fortunately, there are plenty of car insurance options in Oklahoma if you have bad credit. Clearcover, GAINSCO and Mercury offer some of the lowest monthly car insurance rates for Pennsylvania drivers with bad credit, so they'd be a great start. If they're not a fit, there are a number of other car insurance companies to check out that have average monthly rates of less than $200.

A poor credit score will be costly for drivers seeking car insurance in a handful of Oklahoma cities. Drivers in Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Norman are looking at a $200 per month car insurance bill if they have bad credit.
