Follows the driver, not the car

Satisfies California SR-22 filing requirements

Needed for license reinstatement

Ideal for renters, car-share users, and frequent borrowers

Same-day electronic binding

A non-owner policy is the right fit for Richmond drivers who need to satisfy California insurance requirements but don't own a vehicle. East Bay driving with one of the highest theft rates in the region — that combination means plenty of Richmond residents rent, share, or borrow cars and still need liability coverage in their own name.

Richmond & Contra Costa County

Why people in Richmond buy non-owner insurance: (1) your license is suspended and you need an SR-22 to reinstate, (2) you're a frequent car-share or rental user and want liability above what the rental desk offers, (3) you borrow a friend or family member's car regularly and don't want gaps in your own coverage history. California non-owner liability satisfies all three.

Coverage

A non-owner policy typically carries California state minimum liability limits (30/60/15, effective January 1, 2025). It does NOT cover the vehicle itself — no comprehensive, no collision — because you don't own the vehicle. It DOES cover your liability to others if you cause an accident while driving a borrowed or rented car.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a non-owner policy in Richmond if I sometimes borrow a car?▾

If the vehicle owner's insurance is in force and you're driving with permission, their policy usually covers you as a permissive user. You'd want a non-owner policy for one of three reasons: your license was suspended and you need an SR-22, you want to avoid a coverage gap in your own name, or you drive borrowed/rented cars frequently and want higher liability than theirs.

How much does non-owner insurance cost in Richmond?▾

Non-owner policies in Richmond typically run around $40–80/month depending on your driving history. Because there is no vehicle on the policy, there is no comprehensive or collision premium — just liability. Most Richmond drivers save several hundred dollars a year vs. keeping a full ownership policy on a vehicle they rarely drive.

Can I get an SR-22 filing on a non-owner policy?▾

Yes — non-owner with SR-22 is the most common reason Richmond drivers buy this coverage. We file electronically with the California DMV and you typically receive confirmation within 24 hours.

Does non-owner insurance cover a rental car?▾

It covers your liability to others while you're driving a rental. It does NOT cover physical damage to the rental itself — that's what the rental counter's collision-damage waiver is for.

Can I use a non-owner policy if I live in Richmond but drive in other parts of California?▾

Yes. Your California non-owner policy follows you anywhere you drive within the state and in most cases across state lines as well.
