Non-owned Vehicle Insurance Information
Non-owned vehicle insurance can help you get the liability protection you need, even if you aren’t listed as an owner of a vehicle on a title. Contact Samco Agency in Wood Dale, Illinois, to learn more about getting auto liability coverage when you don’t own a car.
Can You Get Car Insurance Without a Car?
Yes, it is possible to get car insurance without owning a car. Non-owner car insurance is designed for drivers who don’t own a vehicle but still need liability coverage when driving.
Non-owner car insurance may help provide liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage if you cause an accident while driving a vehicle you don’t own. It does not typically include coverage for physical damage to your vehicle.
Contact your agent to discuss your circumstances and obtain non-owner car insurance. They can help determine the policy’s cost based on factors such as your age, location and driving record.
Do I Need Non-Owner Car Insurance?
Whether you need non-owner car insurance depends on your specific situation and the nature of your interactions with vehicles. Here are a few scenarios where non-owner car insurance might be necessary or beneficial:
- If you frequently borrow or rent cars from friends, family members or rental agencies, non-owner car insurance can provide liability coverage in case you cause an accident.
- If you occasionally participate in car-sharing services like Zipcar or Car2Go, non-owner car insurance can offer an extra layer of protection beyond what the car-sharing company provides.
- If you don’t own a car but occasionally drive someone else’s vehicle, non-owner car insurance can fill the coverage gaps between the car owner’s insurance and your personal liability coverage, such as a renters or homeowners insurance policy.
- If you’ve had your driver’s license suspended or revoked due to a serious driving offense, you may be required to file an SR-22 form with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to reinstate your driving privileges. In such cases, non-owner car insurance may be necessary to meet the SR-22 insurance filing requirement.
It’s important to note that non-owner car insurance typically doesn’t cover physical damage to the vehicle you’re driving, as that is the responsibility of the car owner’s insurance policy.
