This page focuses on coverage for drivers who do not own a vehicle. For the broader filing overview, start at the main SR-22 help page.
What it is designed to do
A non-owner auto policy generally provides liability protection for an eligible driver who does not own a car. It does not automatically cover every vehicle you may drive and is not a replacement for an owner's policy.
Who may find it useful
It may suit a driver who owns no vehicle but needs continuous coverage or a certificate. It may not fit someone with regular access to a household car, business driving needs or a need for physical-damage coverage.
What is covered and what is not
Liability may respond to covered injury or property damage claims, up to the selected limits. The policy generally does not repair the borrowed vehicle or a car you own. Medical payments and protection for your own injuries are separate questions.
Borrowing a vehicle
The owner's policy and the non-owner contract both matter. Permission does not override exclusions; tell the insurer how often you drive and whose vehicle it is.
Rentals and work vehicles
Rental-car damage is not automatically included. Employer vehicles usually follow the employer's insurance and use rules. Confirm both before driving.
Household exclusions
Some contracts exclude cars owned by, furnished to or regularly available to you or a household member. Disclose the household address, drivers and vehicles.
What affects the cost?
Driving history, address, limits, prior insurance and insurer rules affect premiums. Ask whether fees are separate and what amount is due initially. No price can be promised before underwriting.
Getting a quote reviewed
Have your notice and prior policy information ready. Explain household vehicle access and any regular rental or work use. Confirm that the offered contract meets the requirement shown in your paperwork.
We can review your situation by phone. Eligibility, premium and timing depend on insurer underwriting and the requirements that apply.

When you buy a car
Contact the insurer before driving the newly acquired vehicle. A non-owner contract may not cover a vehicle you own; arrange suitable owner's coverage and confirm any required filing continues correctly.
Why compare options with us?
- We ask about actual vehicle access.
- We explain that these policies are generally liability-focused.
- We encourage confirmation of exclusions in the issued contract.
- We discuss the next step by phone without a web form.
Myths worth avoiding
A non-owner policy is not insurance for every car. It does not automatically provide collision coverage, replace the owner's policy or resolve a license suspension. Verify each coverage and filing requirement directly.
Frequently asked questions
Can I borrow a friend's car?
Permissive use depends on policy terms, the owner's coverage and the circumstances.
Does a non-owner policy repair the car I borrow?
Usually not; it is generally liability-focused and does not cover damage to the borrowed vehicle.
Can it cover a rental?
Do not assume rental damage is covered. Confirm liability and damage protection before renting.
What if someone in my home owns a car?
Household and regularly available vehicle exclusions may apply. Disclose the arrangement.
Can it cover a work vehicle?
Employer vehicles are generally subject to employer policy rules; confirm with the employer and insurer.
What if I buy a car?
Contact the insurer before driving. You may need an owner's policy instead.
What if I regularly use a car I don't own?
Regular access can affect eligibility. Explain the arrangement when applying.
Does it pay for damage to my belongings?
Not ordinarily. Review the contract and other coverage options.
Can I add collision coverage?
Non-owner policies generally do not insure physical damage to a vehicle you do not own.
Will it cover my injuries?
Do not assume so; medical payments and other injury coverages are separate.
Can two drivers share one policy?
Eligibility varies. Each driver should disclose their own circumstances.
How should I compare quotes?
Compare limits, exclusions, fees, payment schedule and the actual filing requirements.
