Non-Owner Liability Requirements in Wyoming
Wyoming requires non-owner policies to carry at least $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $20,000 property damage — the same minimums as owner policies. The state does not mandate uninsured motorist coverage, but most non-owner policies include it. For drivers under mandatory suspension or revocation, Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) Driver Services requires an SR-22 filing for 3 years, measured from the conviction or suspension date.

Non-owner premiums in Wyoming reflect whether you need an SR-22 filing, your driving history, and the liability limits you select above the state minimum. A clean-record non-owner policy costs less than one carrying a 3-year SR-22 after a DUI. Carriers writing non-owner in Wyoming — Dairyland, Bristol West, Farmers, Geico, National General, Progressive, The General, and USAA — price differently based on their underwriting tier and SR-22 filing capability.
What Affects Your Rate
- SR-22 filing requirement: Wyoming mandates a 3-year SR-22 for DUI/DWUI, mandatory revocations, and operating without a license. The filing adds cost and limits carrier options to the 8 that write non-owner SR-22s in Wyoming.
- Driving history: DUI convictions, at-fault accidents, and lapses push you into non-standard underwriting. Bristol West, Dairyland, National General, and The General write non-standard non-owner policies in Wyoming.
- Liability limits above minimum: Raising limits from Wyoming's 25/50/20 to 50/100/50 or 100/300/100 increases premium but provides more protection. Non-owner policies allow higher limits; collision and comprehensive are never available.
- Uninsured motorist coverage: Optional in Wyoming, but Dairyland, Geico, Progressive, and USAA typically include it. With 6.7% of Wyoming motorists uninsured, adding this coverage increases cost slightly but closes a real gap.
- Carrier tier: Preferred carriers (USAA, Farmers) charge more than non-standard specialists (Bristol West, Dairyland, The General) for the same non-owner profile. If you need an SR-22, your carrier options narrow to the 8 that file non-owner SR-22s in Wyoming.
- Continuous coverage: A lapse before buying a non-owner policy can raise rates. Wyoming penalizes lapses with a $50 reinstatement fee and potential suspension; maintaining continuous non-owner coverage between owned vehicles avoids this.
