Car-insurance requirements in Oregon (2026)
Oregon requires 25/50/20 in the usual shorthand. Its statute splits the requirement in two — one section sets the minimum payment schedule and another requires a policy that meets it — which is why single-section summaries of Oregon are often incomplete.
- Minimum liability limits
- 25/50/20
- Fault system
- At-fault (tort)
- Tort threshold
- not applicable
- Restricted rating factors

Source of record: the legislature’s own statute text, corroborated against the state insurance department or motor-vehicle agency. Verification status: primary text confirmed.
How old is this minimum?
Our committed statutory record for Oregon does not carry the date its current limits took effect, so no real-terms restatement is shown. We will not deflate from a year we have not read in the statute or its enacting bill. The limits themselves are confirmed against primary text; only the commencement date is missing.
What the property-damage minimum leaves exposed
A $42,000 property-damage claim against Oregon’s minimum of $20,000 leaves $22,000 above the limit. That difference is the at-fault driver’s own exposure. The claim figure is an illustration; the limit is the statute.

No regulator-published premium data exists for Oregon
Oregon’s insurance department does not publish a per-insurer premium comparison, so this site shows no premium figures for Oregon at all. We will not substitute a figure from a quote engine, a trade body or a national aggregate: none of those is a published record of what insurers filed in Oregon.
