Non-owner auto insurance in Nevada is $414 per year,  which is $34 more than the national average, according to a 2023 rate analysis by Insure.com.

In Nevada, non-owner policies are available from companies such as Geico, Nationwide and Mercury Insurance, in addition to many others.

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.

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

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

In the U.S., it costs an average of $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 property damage. This rate is based on drivers with a clean driving record and good credit score. Full coverage car insurance costs $1,969 in Nevada.

Meanwhile, non-owner auto insurance is $380 a year on average in the U.S. and $414 in Nevada.

But various factors affect rates, such as where in Nevada you live, which insurer you purchase from as well as your age and driving history.
