Automobile insurance in Oregon is expensive. In fact, based on nationwide price comparisons, Oregon drivers pay more for auto insurance than almost two thirds of all other drivers in America. This makes it even more important that Oregon drivers find the best rates on Automobile Insurance. If your vehicle is financed by a bank or other third party, chances are you will be forced to take out full insurance coverage on your vehicle. Still, depending on the institution financing your vehicle there may be some leeway in the amount of coverage you must take, and by taking the lowest amounts required you can keep your rates the best possible. But before stepping into the showroom to buy a new or used car, there are a couple of things to consider that might help you save a lot of cash over the course of the next year. First, the faster, the more powerful and the more expensive a vehicle is the more you are going to pay for your insurance. Certain cars, such as sports cars, carry a very high premium. Also, you are better off doing price comparisons of policies online before you make your purchase rather than after the fact. By having an insurance plan set up ahead of time you can often save a great deal over the insurance that a dealer will try to impose on you at the time of purchase. If you are under 25 you are subject to some of the highest car insurance rates there are, so if you are in school stay there, study hard and get good grades - almost all auto insurance companies offer a Good Student Discount. If you already have other insurance, such as homeowner's or life insurance, ask your agent if there is a multi-plan discount if you also have your auto insurance through them. By varying the amount of your deductible - the amount you pay in case of a claim - you can also greatly influence your monthly premium payments. And if you have the resources to pay your premiums a year at a time instead of monthly you should get a break for that as well. No matter how you cut it, automobile insurance in Oregon is expensive, but by following some of the suggestions here you can probably cut your yearly expenses and make your driving experience a whole lot more enjoyable - after all, who doesn't enjoy saving money?
