Non-owner car insurance in Louisiana costs $366 annually, which is $13 more than the average nationally, according to an Insure.com 2023 rate analysis.

In Louisiana, non-owner policies are available from companies such as State Farm and Progressive.

“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 Louisiana?

Non-owner insurance is usually cheaper than full coverage auto insurance—insurance companies view non-owner policyholders as less of a risk because they have limited 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 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. Full coverage car insurance is $2,487 in Louisiana.

Meanwhile, non-owner car insurance is $353 a year on average in the United States and $366 in Louisiana.

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