Reader’s Question:
I planning to purchase my first car. What kind of insurance can I have for rentals cars or test drives?

Without having an actual vehicle to insure or insurable interest in a car (by having your name on a title or lease) there are limited options for you with regards to car insurance. A non-owners policy is one option since it is for drivers that do not yet own a car to insure.
If you plan on renting cars on a daily basis, a non-owners policy might be more cost effective than relying on the insurance sold at rental companies. But, collision and comprehensive coverage are not usually available for this type of policy so it is likely that you would still need to buy this extra coverage from the rental company.
As for insurance to test drive cars, you may ask if a non-owners policy plus any insurance a dealership has on its cars would be enough to let you go on a test drive.

I am just wondering how much a non owners insurance cost?
Austin

Non-owners insurance is coverage to provide a motorist liability protection for when they are at fault in an accident but do not own a car. Typically, non-owners policies can include liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages and medical payments.
Generally, a non-owner auto liability policy will cost somewhere between $200 and $300 a year and it will depend upon the rating system of the insurance carrier in which you get a policy from. Rating factors such as your driving history will be looked at. This type of insurance policy is cheaper than an owner’s policy since you do not have a specific car to cover. In addition to that, you are not as much of a risk as a car owner to an insurance carrier since you will not normally drive as much as an individual who has their own car at their disposal to use whenever they please.

Reader’s Question:
My daughter has non-owners sr22, so she can drive my vehicle to work and back. She is thinking about getting a motorcycle. Will she still be able to drive my vehicle on that same insurance if she changes her insurance, and puts it on a motorcycle? We live in Babylon, NY.
Daniel
Babylon, NY
A motorcycle is technically not an automobile, because a motorcycle does not have four wheels. He can also add a ‘Miscellaneous Type Vehicle’ endorsement to her current personal auto insurance policy. This endorsement will permit her to cover her motorcycle on her current non-owners sr22 policy. If she is unable to do this endorsement, she will need to take out an insurance policy that is separate from his non-owner sr22 policy and keep his non-owner sr22 policy in force.
She may check different ca insurance website to make comparison shop. This is a great way to get a cheaper auto insurance rate.

What is a named operator policy?
Belle
Thank you for asking Belle
A named-operator policy is also sometimes called a non-owner policy. It is written when the individual needs coverage only for his personal operation of a motor vehicle not owned by him or a family member.
The reason people get this type of policy is because if you are in need of a required liability insurance policy to get an SR22 filed with the state but do not own a motor vehicle.
This type of liability insurance only covers the named insured while operating vehicles. In somet states a non-owner policy includes Bodily Injury Liability and Property Damage Liability. The policy will cover you up to the limits you choose depending on the type of coverage you choose for your policy.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
Im planning to get a non owners insurance policy. Im living with my roommate who has a car and she said I can use it. Is it possible to get a non owners policy?
Michelle
Thank you for asking Michelle
Typically a “non owner” insurance insurance policy includes medical payments, liability and uninsured driver. Most insurance providers offer this insurance policy to individuals who operates vehicles occasionally but does have their own vehicle. The keyword is “occasionally.”
Since the car is in your household, insurance providers may think that you have more access to operate this motor vehicle than for an “occasional” use.
Because of this, it is more likely that you may not be able to obtain the “non owner” policy. The vehicle owner may have to take out a policy for this car and include you on her policy as an “eligible or additional driver.
You may verify with the insurance company where the car is insured in to know more information.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
Me and my husband will not going to have a vehicle in a month or so, I just want to know if we need to get a non owners? Is it possible to be on high risk if we do not have an insurance for a month?
Isabel
Thank you for asking Isabel
If you don’t have insurance because you do not own a vehicle, does not make you a ‘high risk.’ Those individuals that constitute ‘high risk’ are individuals like teenagers, a bad driving history, and a bad credit score to most insurance companies. Some companies use credit to help determine risk of the certain individual. According to their statistics, those individuals with good credit history are better drivers and less likely to be involved in accidents than those motorist with bad credit record. Now, it would be best if you and your husband obtain a ‘non-owner’ insurance policy if either of you will be operating someone else’s motor vehicle. This non owner policy will secure coverage for liability, uninsured motorist coverages and medical payments for an individual will be driving a vehicle owned by somebody else and who does not own a car.In addition to that, you may want to check if you can add a car to that insurance policy in the future and turn it from a ‘non-owner’ policy to an “owner’s” policy. In that case, you do not have to cancel this policy and have to start up a brand new.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
I usually rent a vehicle, what kind of insurance do I need?
Malen
Thank you for asking Malen.
If you usually rent a vehicle, a “non-owners” policy might be best for you than relying on the insurance sold at rental counters. Comprehensive and collision coverage however are not usually available or included for non-owners policies. It would seem that you still need to obtain this from the rental agency. Your non-owners car insurance will cover you when you rent a car and got involved in an accident while operating that motor vehicle. It will provide liability coverage protection. If you operate your friend’s car and damaged it, the car owner’s insurance takes precedence over your non-owners coverage. However, your policy would be activated when the car owner’s liability limits are exhausted.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
Is there an age restriction when applying for an sr22 non owners policy?
Jenny
Thank you for asking Jenny.
Insurance providers differ on their guidelines for non-owners insurance so some insurers might have age restrictions while other companies will not. You need to comparison shop to find the insurance provider that is right for your needs.
If you are a minor and living at home with parents or relatives usually it is easier and cheaper to have you put onto their current car insurance policy. If that is not feasible and if you do not own a motor vehicle but are licensed and occasionally operate a car, non owners is a type of policy that could work for you. It is necessary that you ask when you shop for this auto insurance, if you will be covered for motor vehicles owned by members of the same household because some insurance companies do not permit this.
Goodluck!
