What does non-owner auto insurance cover?

Non-owner auto insurance provides coverage when you are driving a vehicle you don’t own. “If someone with non-owner auto insurance is involved in an accident while driving a rental car or a friend’s car, the policy typically covers liability for damages and injuries to others,” says Golnoush Goharzad, a personal injury attorney in California.

An important caveat is these policies don’t cover damage to the car you are driving. “That would be covered under the car owner’s policy or possibly through optional insurance purchased from the rental agency,” Goharzad says.

Goharzad adds that non-owner auto insurance policies may provide extra coverage. “Non-owner policies may also provide supplementary liability over and above what the car owner’s policy covers, filling in gaps if the primary policy’s limits are exhausted.”

How to get non-owner car insurance in Hawaii

Your driver’s license number and a credit or debit card are all you’ll need to get a non-owner insurance policy. To purchase a policy, follow these steps:

  1. Contact an auto insurance agent about the coverage
  2. Share your basic driving history
  3. Review the information you receive on the insurers and rates
  4. Choose the policy that best meets your needs
  5. Put down a payment to begin coverage

Often, you’ll receive proof of insurance very quickly. Here are a few insurance companies with phone numbers to call for a non-owner insurance quote.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs non-owner car insurance in Hawaii?

Non-owner car insurance is ideal for individuals who frequently rent cars or borrow others’ vehicles but do not own a car themselves. It’s also necessary for those who need to maintain continuous insurance coverage to avoid lapses.

Is non-owner car insurance available to everyone?

Non-owner car insurance is generally available if you do not own a vehicle, do not have regular access to a vehicle, and have a valid driver’s license. It is not available if you can be covered as a driver under another household member’s policy.

Can I get non-owner car insurance if I live with someone who owns a car?

If you live with someone who owns a car, you are generally expected to be listed on their car insurance policy. However, if you are not listed, non-owner car insurance could provide you with liability coverage when driving other vehicles.

What is the difference between non-owner and standard car insurance?

Non-owner car insurance only covers liability for bodily injury and property damage inflicted on others, not damages to the vehicle you are driving or injuries to yourself, which are typically covered under standard auto insurance policies.
