Non-Owner Liability Requirements in Arizona
Arizona requires $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 property damage — the 25/50/25 minimum a non-owner policy must carry. Arizona does not require PIP or uninsured motorist coverage by statute, but most non-owner policies include uninsured motorist protection. For drivers under an SR-22 filing requirement, a non-owner policy satisfies the state's proof-of-financial-responsibility mandate without owning a car, and the filing period is typically 3 years measured from the conviction or suspension date.

Non-owner premiums in Arizona reflect your driving history, whether you need an SR-22 filing, and the liability limits you choose above the 25/50/25 minimum. A clean-record driver paying for liability only faces lower cost than a driver filing an SR-22 after a DUI. Carriers writing non-owner in Arizona include standard-tier options like Geico and Progressive, and non-standard specialists like Dairyland, GAINSCO, and The General.
What Affects Your Rate
- SR-22 filing requirement — Arizona mandates 3-year SR-22 for DUI, uninsured accidents, and points suspensions; filing adds cost and limits carrier options to those writing non-owner SR-22 in the state.
- Driving history — DUI, at-fault accidents, and license suspensions raise premiums; Arizona's electronic insurance verification system (AIVS) tracks lapses and suspensions in real time.
- Liability limits chosen — carrying 50/100/50 or 100/300/100 instead of Arizona's 25/50/25 minimum increases premium but protects assets above the floor.
- Restricted license status — drivers on Arizona's Restricted Driver License with ignition interlock under A.R.S. §28-3319 face higher non-owner premiums due to DUI history.
- Continuous coverage history — a lapse triggers Arizona MVD registration suspension under A.R.S. §28-4144; non-owner policies prevent gaps between owned vehicles.
- Carrier tier — standard carriers like Geico and Progressive offer lower rates for clean records; non-standard specialists like GAINSCO and The General serve post-violation drivers at higher cost.
