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.

This includes $100,000 for injuries you might cause in an accident, up to $300,000 per accident, and an additional $100,000 for any damages to property. This rate is based on drivers with a clean driving record and good credit score. In New Hampshire, the cost of full coverage car insurance is $1,266.

Meanwhile, non-owner car insurance costs $300 a year in New Hampshire and $380 on average in the U.S.
