Frequently Asked Questions

What is non-owner car insurance?

Non-owner car insurance is a liability-only policy for drivers who don't own a vehicle. It covers bodily injury and property damage you cause while driving borrowed, rented, or shared cars. It never covers physical damage to the car you're driving because you don't own it.

Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car?

Yes. A non-owner policy lets you file an SR-22 in any of the 36 states that require one. The carrier files the certificate electronically with your state when the policy binds, and it stays active as long as your coverage continues.

Does non-owner insurance cover rental cars?

Non-owner insurance covers liability when you drive a rental car—bodily injury and property damage you cause. It does not cover physical damage to the rental itself. The rental company's collision damage waiver covers the car; your non-owner policy covers people and property you injure.

Is non-owner insurance cheaper than regular car insurance?

Non-owner policies cost less than standard auto insurance because they're liability-only and secondary. You're not insuring a vehicle for collision or comprehensive damage. State minimums and your driving record determine the rate.

Which insurance companies write non-owner policies?

Geico and Progressive write non-owner policies in all 51 jurisdictions and file SR-22 certificates. The General writes non-owner SR-22 in 45 states; Dairyland in 38. USAA writes non-owner in all 51 but serves military-affiliated drivers only.
