The figures are from a study of a 40-year-old who has no tickets or accidents and buys the state minimum, not quotes. We list the company with the lowest price open to all drivers; USAA, which serves only military families, appears later. * The state average includes USAA, and in that state its low rate brings the average under the cheapest company available to everyone.

These policies cover drivers who do not own a car; if you live with a car owner, being put on their plan is often a better choice (find out which option fits you).

Yearly US averages from the insurance.com rate survey, with the cheapest listed first. USAA is open only to military families. That survey does not include Dairyland; see Dairyland prices by state.

Per the rate study, GEICO offered the cheapest non-owner car insurance in the US for most drivers: $458 a year, roughly $38 a month. Travelers came next, at $464. In many states, another company costs less; the table by state shows the cheapest one in each.

Is USAA the lowest-priced option?

USAA's yearly average of $207 is less than half the national average. Because only military members, veterans, and their families can purchase it, the table lists the lowest-cost company that anyone can use; every state page also shows what USAA charges there. If you qualify, get a USAA quote first.

Where rates are the lowest

For each state, the table shows only the single cheapest company, so its rates sit far below that state's overall average. Across all companies in the study, the state average is lowest in South Dakota at $216 a year, and highest in New Jersey at $1,141. The $57 price from local Southern Farm Bureau makes Louisiana look cheap in the table, though the average for the state across all companies is $410. The price depends more on the state you live in than on the large company you choose.

Getting the lowest possible price

Because the cheapest company changes from state to state, collect prices from at least three companies. Getting one speeding ticket adds roughly 20% to your price, so keep your record clean. Also, purchase only the limits you need; the state minimum costs the least.

Getting prices usually means calling or going through an agent, because most insurers do not sell non‑owner policies online. You can get quotes from several companies at once with one call to an agent.
