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 auto insurance cost in New Hampshire?

Insurers consider non-owner policyholders as less risky due to their limited access to a car, and therefore, it’s usually cheaper to buy non-owner insurance than full coverage car 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 New Hampshire, full coverage car insurance costs $1,266.

On the other hand, non-owner auto insurance costs $353 a year on average in the United States and $246 in New Hampshire.
