How much does non-owner car insurance cost in Minnesota?

Insurance companies view non-owner policyholders as less risky due to their minimal access to a vehicle, and therefore, it’s usually cheaper to buy non-owner insurance than full coverage auto insurance.

On average in the U.S., it costs a driver with a clean driving record and good credit score $1,682 annually 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 Minnesota, full coverage car insurance costs $1,482.

On the other hand, non-owner car insurance is $353 a year on average in the United States and $257 in Minnesota.

But various factors affect individual rates, such as where in Minnesota you live, your age and driving history and other factors.
