Why we picked this company
If you’re convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or you’ve caused an at-fault accident, it might be tough to find a reasonably affordable car insurance policy. But some insurers specialize in serving high-risk drivers, including Dairyland.
While Dairyland’s rates are higher than a lot of car insurers in Oregon, they’re lower than others if you’re a high-risk driver. And you’ll probably enjoy good customer service. Dairyland earns 4.4 stars out of 5 on the Trustpilot review website.
Pros
Works with high-risk drivers
Good Trustpilot rating
Mobile app has 3.5 out of 5 stars on Google Play
Cons
Relatively high rates

Mile Auto stands out thanks to its offering of pay-per-mile coverage. The company charges a rate for the number of miles you each month plus a standard base rate.
With this type of coverage, a person who doesn’t drive much might save money when compared with a traditional insurer. Mile Auto claims drivers who buy its coverage can save 30%–40% compared to coverage with their current insurer.

Great Car Insurance with Safeco

Why we picked this company
If you’re safe behind the wheel, Safeco gives you several financial rewards. For example, the company waives your first accident after a set number of years as a Safeco policyholder without an at-fault collision or traffic violation. And if you go claims-free for six months, Safeco automatically sends you a check for 2.5% of your premiums, with a maximum of 5% per year.
Pros
Solid rewards for being a good driver
Potential deductible decrease for claims-free history
Many coverage options
Cons
Below-average J.D. Power customer and claims satisfaction ratings

Our editorial team analyzed regional and national auto insurance companies that sell policies in Oregon to assess which offer the best rates, coverage options, customer service, and savings to drivers. We prioritized competitive rates, 24/7 customer service, low-mileage discounts or programs, safe driving discounts, homeownership discounts or bundling options, and specialty or supplemental coverages.
How to get the best car insurance in Oregon
From shopping around to checking an insurer’s reputation, use the following tips to get the best car insurance in Oregon.
Look into discounts
Many insurers offer discounts such as a good driver discount, good student discount (which is especially helpful if you have young drivers on your policy), multi-car discount, low-mileage discount, early renewal discount, auto-pay discount, and a bundling discount.
Examine coverage
What kind of coverage do you need? And do the insurers you’re considering sell that type of coverage? Depending on where you live, you generally must carry minimum coverage: bodily injury liability insurance and property damage liability insurance. This is the case in Oregon, where you also must purchase uninsured motorist and personal injury protection coverage.
You might be able to skip rental reimbursement coverage and roadside assistance coverage, for example, to keep your premiums low.
Weigh the deductible
A deductible is the amount of money a car insurer subtracts from your payout for a claim. So, if you filed an accident claim, chose a $250 deductible and the repair bill totaled $5,000, your insurer would cover the remaining $4,750 after you paid the deductible.
In this scenario, if you had raised your deductible to $500, your insurer would pay the remaining $4,500. But that gap might be offset, as insurers often lower your premiums when you increase your deductible.
Find out a company’s financial strength
Companies like AM Best and the Kroll Bond Rating Agency analyze insurers’ financial stability. Insurance companies with better financial strength scores are better equipped to pay out claims and could be more appealing because they’re a safer bet.
Check a company’s reputation
As you’re shopping for car insurance, explore online reviews and ask friends, relatives, and colleagues for recommendations to find out which insurer might be a good fit. Places to investigate an insurer’s reputation include the websites for market research company J.D. Power and review storehouse Trustpilot.
Shop around
Consider quotes from several insurers, not just one. The Insurance Information Institute recommends obtaining quotes from at least three companies. You can do this online or through an agent.
