Gender also plays a part in determining car insurance rates in most states. Males tend to be riskier drivers and have more injuries, leading to higher premiums.

Seniors (65-75)$451$460

Non-owner vs. traditional car insurance

Non-owner car insurance costs less than standard car insurance because it provides minimal coverage. It only includes liability coverage, while standard auto insurance offers many additional types of coverage.

For example, non-owner car insurance in Oregon doesn't cover damage to the car you're driving or your injuries. Standard car insurance may include collision and comprehensive coverage to help pay for car repairs.

Furthermore, because insurance companies anticipate that people who don't own a car will drive less frequently, and because non-owner car insurance is secondary to the owner's policy, the risk of a claimAn insurance claim is a request you make to your insurance company for coverage after your car is damaged or you have an accident. You can file a claim online, by phone, or in writing. is much lower.
