“Non-owner policies provide the minimum coverage required by the state, as well as some optional add-ons, but there are specific requirements by the insurance carriers to provide this coverage in lieu of a traditional auto insurance policy,” says Patti Clement, senior vice president of private client services at HUB International, a leading personal insurance brokerage.

How much does non-owner auto insurance cost in Colorado?

Non-owner insurance is usually less expensive than full coverage car insurance—insurers consider non-owner policyholders as less risky because they have minimal access to a vehicle.

On average in the U.S., it costs a driver with a clean driving record and good credit score $1,682 a year for a 100/300/100 full coverage insurance policy—$100,000 for injuries you cause in an accident, up to $300,000 per accident, and $100,000 for any damages to property. Full coverage car insurance is $1,804 in Colorado.

Alternatively, non-owner auto insurance is $353 a year on average in the United States and $287 in Colorado.

But actual rates are based on where in Colorado you live, your age and driving history and other points.
