What an ignition interlock costs in Oregon
Verified · next review
Oregon does not publish a price, so the honest answer is the national one: NHTSA puts installation at $70 to $90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3 to $4 a day. A quote far above that is the provider's, not the state's.
Three charges make up the bill, not one: fitting the device, keeping it on the car, and taking it out at the end. Over a full term the monthly fee is the bulk of it, which is why a cheap installation on a long requirement costs more than a dearer one on a short.
Oregon publishes no figure, so here is the national one
NHTSA puts installation at $70–$90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3–$4 a day. Only 14 jurisdictions publish their own numbers or cap what a provider may charge; Oregon is not among them, so a quote well above the national range is the provider’s decision rather than the state’s.
What decides the total in Oregon
The monthly fee matters less than how long you pay it, and that is set by the requirement rather than the provider. In Oregon a first offense carries set by ORS 813.602 for the underlying suspension; the hardship permit runs alongside it and requires the device on any vehicle you drive The programme is run by Oregon DMV (Department of Transportation), with the court on diversion cases, which is also who decides whether a recorded event extends it.
That is the part worth budgeting for: events add months, and months are what the bill is made of. What counts as a violation → · All Oregon rules and centers →

Cost questions in Oregon
How much does an ignition interlock cost in Oregon?
Oregon does not publish a price, so the honest answer is the national one: NHTSA puts installation at $70 to $90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3 to $4 a day. A quote far above that is the provider's, not the state's.
Does Oregon cap what a provider can charge?
No. Oregon does not publish provider prices at all, so the quote is the price. That is the argument for getting two of them: nothing constrains what a provider asks, and in states without a cap the same brand quotes differently in different cities.
What else does Oregon charge on top of the device?
We have no separate state fee schedule on file for Oregon. Reinstatement and licensing charges usually sit outside the interlock program itself — check with Oregon DMV (Department of Transportation), with the court on diversion cases before you budget.
Where can I have an interlock fitted in Oregon?
We index 106 certified installation points across 45 Oregon cities. Book with a provider the state approves rather than the nearest pin on the map: time on an unapproved device does not count toward the term.
