Non-owner car insurance in Nebraska costs $241 per year, which is $139 lower than the national average, according to Insure.com’s 2023 rate analysis.

Many companies offer non-owner policies in Nebraska, such as USAA, Progressive and State Farm.

Non-owner car insurance is a policy for people who don’t own a car but often borrow or rent a vehicle. It provides liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage in case you get in an accident while driving a car owned by someone else.

“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.

In addition to understanding the various requirements, it’s important to know what non-owner insurance is, which companies offer it and how much it costs in Nebraska.

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

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

In the United States, it costs an average of $1,682 a year for a 100/300/100 full coverage insurance policy. This includes $100,000 for injuries you might cause in an accident, up to $300,000 per accident, and an additional $100,000 for property damage. This applies to drivers with a clean driving record plus a good credit score. In Nebraska, it’s $1,976.

On the other hand, non-owner auto insurance is $241 in Nebraska and $380 on average in the U.S. by comparison.

There are different variables to consider when comparing rates, such as which insurer you buy from, your age and driving history and also where in Nebraska you live.

How much is non-owner car insurance in Nebraska by age?

Age plays an important role in pricing because young people who haven’t been driving for a long time are seen as higher risk by insurance companies and are more likely to cause an accident. Therefore, older and more experienced drivers usually have less expensive rates. On average, non-owner insurance costs $1,312 a year for a 16-year-old and $241 for a 45-year-old in Nebraska.
