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 North Dakota.

This includes $100,000 for injuries you may cause in an accident, up to $300,000 per accident, and an additional $100,000 for property damage. In North Dakota, the cost is $1,295.
