The Zebra’s auto insurance data methodology

The Zebra’s Dynamic Insurance Rating Tool for home and auto insurance rates utilizes the latest ZIP code-level rate filings from across the U.S., sourced from Quadrant Information Services and S&P Global. These filings, typically updated annually or biennially by insurers, are verified through Quadrant’s QA process and then integrated into The Zebra’s estimator.

The displayed rates are based on a dynamic home and auto profile designed to reflect the content of the page. This profile is tailored to match specific factors such as age, location, and coverage level, which are adjusted based on the page content to show how these variables can impact premiums.

For a comprehensive understanding, see our detailed methodology.

Our data shows that 47% of Oklahoma drivers only insure their vehicles with liability coverage. The Oklahoma Department of Insurance mandates minimum liability limits of 25/50/25, which equates to $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, along with $25,000 for property damage per accident. Please refer to our guide for a more in-depth explanation of Oklahoma's car insurance limits and regulations.

Is liability insurance enough for Oklahoma drivers?

Oklahoma insurance requirements are on par with many other states, but that doesn't mean there is actually enough coverage if you're involved in an accident. It's important to remember that liability insurance won't cover your own vehicle but is meant to help other drivers if you're at fault. Unless you have a very cheap vehicle (worth less than about $4,000), I don't recommend skimping on coverage.

If you opt for state minimum limits, I suggest adding UMBI (uninsured motorist bodily injury) and UMPD (uninsured motorist property damage) coverage since there are a significant number of uninsured drivers on the road. Ultimately, carrying as much coverage as you can afford is a good idea. Accidents can be surprisingly expensive, and you don't want to be caught off-guard with an expensive lesson learned.

Zebra tip: Don't forget about claims satisfaction

While you may never need to use your insurance, having a smooth claims experience is essential if you do. In our 2024 Customer Satisfaction Survey, we evaluated the experiences of those who filed claims, and USAA emerged as a leading option, especially for military members in Oklahoma. For those not eligible for USAA, Allstate and American Family also ranked highly for claims satisfaction and are worth considering.[4]

In Oklahoma, a poor driving record can significantly increase your insurance rates. Receiving a ticket or citation is likely to cause your auto insurance premiums to skyrocket, with the extent of the increase depending on the type of violation, your insurer's pricing policies, and the varying local insurance regulations and risks. As a result, the impact of tickets on insurance rates may differ from the national average. Generally, car insurance premiums can increase by as much as 67% after a DUI and up to 28% following a speeding ticket.

Below is a table showing Oklahoma's average auto insurance rates after common citations.

The Zebra's guide to Oklahoma car insurance laws for high-risk drivers

Some of the violations above, such as a DUI or driving without insurance, can lead to more complicated insurance implications. Below are more details about Oklahoma car insurance laws and regulations. Check out our guide for additional information about car insurance requirements in the state of Oklahoma

Oklahoma DUI laws

In Oklahoma, a DUI offense can increase your annual car insurance premium to an average of $3,673. That’s 7% more than the national average rate hike after a DUI. Finding affordable auto insurance after a DUI violation isn’t simple. A DUI often brings about a bigger premium increase than any single road violation — more than an at-fault accident, racing, or reckless driving.

 

Low-cost car insurance after a DUI in Oklahoma

If you're convicted of a DUI or DWI violation in Oklahoma, it’s key to carefully consider each of your insurance choices. Auto insurance premiums following a DUI can vary substantially by insurer. For example, Progressive is the least expensive car insurance company with a DUI in Oklahoma, offering annual rates 29% less than the statewide average insurance rate with a DUI. The second cheapest insurer for auto insurance after a DUI in Oklahoma is State Farm, while the priciest firm is Allstate, with prices 22% above average.

No car insurer, in particular, offers inexpensive DUI car insurance. The recommended way to save after a DUI citation is to shop around.

Oklahoma SR-22 insurance

An SR-22 is a routine legal requirement triggered by a violation such as a DUI conviction, a ticket for driving without insurance, an at-fault collision, driving with a suspended license, or accumulating too many points on your license. It is not a type of insurance policy, but a form issued by your insurance company to ensure that you remain insured. Most states require an SR-22, but Oklahoma is one exception. The state of Oklahoma does not require you to file an SR-22 in order to apply for insurance. 

If you move from a state that requires an SR-22 to a state that does not, you will typically still need to follow the requirements of the state that first required you to file an SR-22.
