Required car insurance in Oklahoma
Oklahoma requires only one type of auto insurance: Liability. But many drivers need more coverage in case there's an accident. Here's a look at what's available so you can make the right insurance purchase.
Minimum liability insurance:
Liability car insurance is important coverage because it pays others if you cause damage and injuries. If you cause a large crash, you can be sued for damage and medical bills if you don't have enough insurance. In Oklahoma you must have liability limits of at least:
- $25,000 bodily injury per person.
- $50,000 bodily injury per accident.
- $25,000 property damage per accident.
This is often written as 25/50/25.
Minimum uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage:
- Oklahoma car insurance companies must offer you UM/UIM coverage but you can reject it in writing. If you buy it, the minimum coverage is $25,000 per person/$50,000 per accident (called 25/50). This coverage pays your medical bills, up to the limits, if you're hit by a driver with little or no liability insurance.
Other auto insurance
Medical payments (MedPay): For medical or funeral expenses for you and your passengers from a crash, no matter who was at fault.
Comprehensive coverage: For theft of your vehicle or damage caused by hail, flood, fire, vandalism, falling objects, explosions and hitting an animal.
Collision coverage: For damage to your vehicle caused by hitting another car or an object, like a tree.
Rental reimbursement: For a rental car if your vehicle is being repaired due to an accident.

Penalty for not having car insurance in Oklahoma
Failure to comply with Oklahoma's compulsory insurance law or failure to show a security verification form is a misdemeanor. This is punishable by a fine of not more than $250 and/or no more than 30 days in jail. There is suspension of driving privileges until payment of a reinstatement fee and proof of security is furnished. If you can comply with state law through the online verification system, there's no violation and no citation issued.
