Auto insurance rates in Utah are considerably lower than the national average. Of course, the rates listed above should just give you a general idea of what your costs might be. Actual rates vary significantly from one person to the next. For example, a 17-year-old boy driving a sports car is likely to pay far more for coverage than a 45-year-old married woman driving a minivan. When calculating the cost of your Orem car insurance premiums, insurance companies will consider such things as these:

• The make, model, year and safety features of the vehicle(s) you wish to insure
• Your ZIP code and whether you park your car on the street, a driveway or in a garage
• The age, sex, marital status and driving records of all licensed drivers in your household
• Your claims history
• The amount of coverage you wish to purchase
• The amount of your deductible
• Your bundling options, i.e., whether you plan to bundle your coverage with another policy such as home or business insurance

Every insurance company has a proprietary way of determining risk and calculating rates, so comparison shopping puts you at an advantage by allowing you to choose the policy that offers you the best value for your money.

Utah Car Insurance Requirements

• Bodily injury liability: required
• Property damage liability: required
• Personal injury protection (PIP): required
• Uninsured motorist coverage: not required
• Minimum liability limits: 25/65/15: Coverage up to $65,000 for all persons injured in an accident, subject to a limit of $25,000 for one individual, and $15,000 coverage for property damage

The state of Utah requires drivers to carry auto insurance coverage that meets or exceeds these state-imposed minimums. These requirements are intended to provide you with suitable financial protection if you are responsible for a collision. Serious accidents involving significant injuries that require extensive or long-term medical care can easily exceed these coverage limits, so you may want to purchase higher liability limits in order to protect your personal assets, such as your home.

Number of Uninsured Motorists in Utah

• Number of uninsured U.S. drivers: 13%
• Number of uninsured Utah drivers: 8.2%

Driving without insurance in Utah is not without consequences. It is a Class B misdemeanor, and if you are caught, you face a fine of no less than $400 for your first offense and no less than $1,000 for future offenses if they occur within three years of the previous. Furthermore, your license can be suspended until you provide proof of coverage and pay a reinstatement fee. If an uninsured driver is responsible for a collision that causes property damage or injuries to you or your passengers, you may find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to collect reimbursement for your losses. 

Unless, that is, your Orem auto insurance policy includes uninsured motorist coverage. In this case, your insurance company provides the necessary compensation upfront and then attempts to collect funds from the offending driver on its own behalf. This insurance also covers damage and injuries caused by hit-and-run drivers.

Number of Auto Thefts in Utah

• National number of thefts per 1,000 vehicles: 2.28
• Utah number of thefts per 1,000 vehicles: 2.44

The rate of car theft in the state of Utah is higher than the national average, but the rate in Orem is lower. Recently, there were only 98 auto thefts reported in this city. That equates to about 1.07 car thefts per 1,000 vehicles, which is quite low. If your car is stolen or vandalized, your insurance company can only provide compensation if your policy includes “other than collision” (or comprehensive) insurance. This insurance covers damage caused by such things as theft, vandalism, falling objects, floods and non collision-related fires. If you are still paying for your vehicle, you likely carry comprehensive insurance already because most lenders require it until the car loan is paid in full.
