Non-owner policy options for Arcadia drivers
Click Here to Call (626) 631-2005Phone assistance available 24/7We can help you consider insurance options if you do not own a car. The details of vehicle access and how you drive matter.
When you need proof but do not own a car, the right policy depends on how often you drive and whose vehicles you may use. Start with the details of your situation.

What it is for
A non-owner auto policy is generally designed for eligible drivers who do not own a vehicle but need personal auto liability coverage. Household access and regular vehicle use can affect eligibility.
Who should ask about it
It may fit a person with no car registered to them who occasionally drives eligible borrowed vehicles. It may not fit if you own a car, regularly use a household vehicle or need business coverage.
What is and is not covered
Coverage is generally liability-focused and may pay covered claims for injury or property damage to others, subject to limits and exclusions. It generally does not repair the borrowed car or provide collision and comprehensive protection for a vehicle you do not own.
Borrowed cars, rentals and work vehicles
The owner's policy may apply first and may contain restrictions. Rental agreements may require separate damage protection. Employer-owned vehicles and business use are often treated differently from personal borrowing. Confirm the terms before driving.
Household vehicles
Tell us if a household member owns a vehicle you can access. Some policies exclude vehicles regularly available to you or owned by household members.
Cost and starting the process
Price depends on your record, address, limits and insurer rules. Have driver details, household vehicle information and any notice ready. An insurer must approve coverage before a filing can be arranged.

Contact the insurer before driving a newly purchased vehicle. You may need an owner policy and a changed filing arrangement.
Common misconceptions
This policy does not insure every car you borrow, automatically cover household vehicles or guarantee rental-car damage protection. The policy wording controls.
