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

Non-owner insurance is usually cheaper than full coverage car insurance—insurers consider non-owner policyholders as less of a risk because they have limited access to a vehicle.

On average in the U.S., it costs drivers with clean driving records and good credit scores $1,895 per 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. In Indiana, full coverage car insurance costs $1,184.

Alternatively, non-owner auto insurance costs $353 a year on average in the United States and $263 in Indiana.

But actual rates are based on your age and driving history and also where in Indiana you live.

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 Indiana

To get a non-owner policy, you need your driver’s license number and a credit or debit card.

To purchase a policy, follow these steps:

1. Contact an auto insurance agent about the coverage
2. Supply 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.

For a non-owner car insurance policy quote, you must call your insurer instead of visiting its website.
