You may not need a non-owner car insurance policy if you share a household with someone who owns a vehicle you frequently drive. In those cases, you should be listed as a secondary driver on their policy.
If you cause an accident while borrowing a vehicle, your non-owner car insurance policy would help cover damages to other people’s vehicles and property. The largest limitation is you wouldn’t have coverage if you were driving a vehicle you own or use often.
Non-owner car insurance doesn’t cover damages to the vehicle you’re driving, and typically doesn’t include coverage for your property or injuries you suffer in an accident.
Minimum auto insurance requirements for car insurance vary by state—in fact, some states don’t actually offer non-owner car insurance policies. See what the car insurance requirements and options are for your state.

A non-owner policy can be a cheap car insurance alternative to traditional car insurance policies. That said, several factors can impact the cost of a non-owner car insurance policy, including your driving history and how much coverage you’d like to purchase. Non-owner policies have coverage limits, and usually don’t carry a deductible.
Keep in mind, non-owner policies are purchased on a per-driver basis, so you’ll need to purchase your own insurance even if you share a household with other drivers who don’t own vehicles.

Similar to most other car insurance coverages, this depends on you. Cost factors include your driving history, your age, where you live, and how much coverage you want. Your car insurance agent or company can break it all down for you.
The biggest benefit is that you’re likely covered if you’re involved in an incident while driving someone else’s car. A non-owner insurance policy is often cheaper than similar coverage on a vehicle you own.
Yes, you can cancel your non-owner coverage. But you’ll need to contact your insurance agent or insurance company to do so. However, if you’re going to continue to drive, make sure you have some coverage in place. Car insurance is required in nearly every state.
