Buying and Owning a Car

While cars are convenient, there are many reasons not to own one. They are expensive to buy and operate, parking can be difficult and frustrating, insurance is required and is very expensive. Public transportation is available around the Corvallis area (and buses are free for OSU students). It is possible to rent a car for weekends or vacations to explore Oregon.

Automobile Insurance

Drivers of automobiles, motorcycles, and other motor vehicles have a financial responsibility in case of an accident that involves injury or death, or damage to property or another vehicle. DO NOT DRIVE WITHOUT INSURANCE! There can be very serious legal and financial consequences if you do not have insurance. Laws in the state of Oregon require all drivers to attain liability insurance for their motor vehicles.
