Hello Will! Not only are we required by the law to get car insurance, having a car insurance acts like a financial assurance if ever a driver, especially for young and new drivers like yourself, gets involved in a car accident.
Getting a young drivers insurance in Oregon is more than easy. Just search the internet for car insurance comparison websites such as this blog to compare car insurance quotes from “A-rated” car insurance companies. It’s fast, secure and best of all, free of all obligations.
I’m assuming you are a young driver because of your question. If this is the case, expect your car insurance rates to be a bit high. Car insurance companies classify young and new drivers as high-risk drivers because they are usually inexperienced on driving, thus making them susceptible to road accidents and traffic violations. Let me give you some tips to keep your young drivers insurance premiums lower.
1. Keep your driving records clean by being a careful driver. This can give you discounts on your young drivers insurance premiums in the long run.
2. If you are still single, getting married can get you cheaper premiums.
3. If you are still in school, get good grades to get a good student discount.

There are several factors that car insurance companies take into consideration when setting your car insurance rates. One factor is age.
In most cases, younger drivers particularly those who are teens or those who are still going to school (or students to be exact), pay higher car insurance premiums as compared to other older drivers. The reason seems to be logical, since young drivers do not have the sufficient driving experience yet hence they are often involved in vehicular accidents. And also, it’s been proven by studies that younger drivers are more involved in car accidents as opposed to older drivers.
