What car insurance coverage is required in Salem, Oregon?
The state of Oregon requires all Salem drivers to have car insurance.
Let’s run through some basics first. Remember: A “limit” on your car insurance policy refers to the maximum amount your insurance company will pay out on a certain type of claim.
For example, Oregon drivers are required to have a minimum of $25,000/$50,000 of bodily injury liability coverage. That means that for a certain type of claim your car insurance company could pay out a maximum of $25,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, and $50,000 of bodily injury coverage in total (for all of the people injured in an accident.)
To comply with Oregon’s car insurance coverage requirements, Salem drivers need the following coverages and minimum coverage amounts:
| Required minimum coverages for Salem drivers | Minimum amount required |
|---|---|
| Bodily injury liability coverage | $25,000/50,000 |
| Property damage liability coverage | $20,000 |
| Uninsured/underinsured driver bodily injury coverage | $25,000/50,000 |
| Personal injury protection | $15,000 |
Keep in mind: Your levels of bodily injury and property damage liability coverage don’t have to stop at the bare minimum. You can easily select higher amounts for each required coverage and include optional add-on coverages when you build your policy on the Lemonade app.
Additional coverages available to Salem drivers
Salem drivers who drive with Lemonade Car can (and arguably should) add the following coverages to their auto insurance policy to boost their protection behind the wheel.
| What add-on coverages does Lemonade Car offer? | What can it help pay for? |
|---|---|
| Collision coverage | To repair or replace your own car if it’s damaged in an accident with another vehicle, or a stationary object (like a fence, highway divider, and so on). |
| Comprehensive coverage | To fix damage to your car, or possibly replace it entirely, if there are damages or losses from an incident that didn’t involve a collision with another vehicle (like if you hit a deer, damage from a hailstorm, and so on). |
| Uninsured/underinsured driver property damage coverage | To repair or replace your own car if you get into a car accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver. |
| Temporary transportation coverage | Transportation expenses like rideshares, public transportation, bike sharing, or a rental car for up to 30 days while your car is being repaired or appraised. |
| Roadside Assistance | Towing and other emergency roadside services—like lockout services, flat tire replacement, jumpstarts for dead batteries, fuel delivery, winching, and battery service if your car breaks down. |
