How much does non-owner car insurance cost in South Dakota?

Insurance companies view non-owner policyholders as less of a risk due to their limited access to a vehicle, and therefore, it’s usually less expensive 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 a 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 any damages to property. In South Dakota, full coverage car insurance costs $1,581.

Alternatively, non-owner auto insurance is $353 a year on average in the United States and $170 in South Dakota.
