“Non-owner policies provide the minimum coverage required by the state, as well as some optional add-ons, but there are specific requirements by the insurance carriers to provide this coverage in lieu of a traditional auto insurance policy,” says Patti Clement, senior vice president of private client services at HUB International, a leading personal insurance brokerage.

How much does non-owner auto insurance cost in Kentucky?

Non-owner insurance is usually less expensive than full coverage auto insurance—insurance companies consider non-owner policyholders as less risky because they have limited access to a car.

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 property damage. Full coverage car insurance is $1,864 in Kentucky.

Meanwhile, non-owner car insurance costs $353 a year on average in the United States and $484 in Kentucky.

But actual rates are based on where in Kentucky you live, your age and driving history and other points.

How to get non-owner car insurance in Kentucky

To get a non-owner policy, you need your driver’s license number and a credit or debit card.

To purchase a policy, follow these steps:

  1. Contact an auto insurance agent about the coverage
  2. Supply your basic driving history
  3. Review the information you receive on the insurers and rates
  4. Choose the policy that best meets your needs
  5. Put down a payment to begin coverage

In many cases, you’ll get proof of insurance almost immediately.

For a non-owner insurance policy, you’ll need to call your insurer rather than go online for a quote.

“You must pick up the phone to request a non-owner insurance quote. Although the majority of the major auto insurance providers provide non-owner policies, none of them provide online non-owner insurance estimates,” says Bruce Mohr, senior investment advisor and credit consultant at Fair Credit, a consumer-credit service and consulting company.

Here are some insurers with their contact numbers to call for a non-owner insurance quote.

  • State Farm: 800-782-8332
  • Geico: 800-207-7847
  • Progressive: 888-671-4405
  • Allstate: 800-726-6033
  • USAA: 800-531-8722
