A non-owner policy provides liability coverage for a licensed driver who regularly drives vehicles they do not own.

How this coverage works

What a non-owner policy does and does not do

Non-owner policies are liability first. They generally do not include collision or comprehensive coverage because there is no owned vehicle to insure.

They also generally do not cover vehicles available for your regular use, including household vehicles. That is the most common misunderstanding.

Details to review

  • Maintains continuous coverage history
  • Commonly used to satisfy filing requirements
  • Liability focused, no physical damage
  • Does not cover vehicles in your household

What the coverage includes

Coverage names, terms, and availability vary by insurance carrier and state. These descriptions are educational and are not a policy contract.

Common optional add-ons

Endorsements change what a policy covers. Availability differs by insurance carrier and state.

  • Rental reimbursement

    Helps with a temporary vehicle while a covered repair is completed.

  • Roadside assistance

    Towing, jump starts, lockout help, and flat tire service, depending on the plan.

  • Full glass or reduced glass deductible

    Changes how windshield and glass claims are handled. Availability varies by state.

  • Loan or lease gap coverage

    Addresses the difference between an actual cash value settlement and a loan or lease balance.

  • Custom equipment coverage

    Extends coverage to permanently installed equipment beyond factory equipment.

  • Accident forgiveness

    May limit the rating effect of a first at-fault accident where a carrier offers it.

Who this is generally written for

Eligibility is set by each insurance carrier and can differ by state. Nothing here is a guarantee of eligibility or coverage.

Commonly a good fit

  • Licensed drivers who do not own a vehicle
  • Frequent rental or borrowed vehicle drivers
  • Drivers maintaining continuous coverage between vehicles

Worth a conversation first

  • Drivers with a vehicle regularly available in the household
  • Drivers who will purchase a vehicle soon

Availability varies by state

No-fault states
Personal injury protection replaces or supplements medical payments and changes how injury claims are handled.
FR-44 states
A small number of states use FR-44 filings, which generally require higher liability limits than SR-22 filings.
Border states
Travel into Mexico requires a separate policy issued by an insurance carrier authorized in Mexico.

Insurance coverage is not bound or effective unless and until it has been confirmed in writing by TruvaLink Insurance Agency or an authorized representative of the applicable insurance carrier. Submission of a quote request, application, payment, or other information does not guarantee coverage or constitute proof of insurance.
