Who can get Farmers non-owner coverage?

  • It works when your home has no car (yours or a roommate's) and you drive borrowed, rented, or shared cars a lot, or when your state needs an SR-22 form before you can get back on the road.
  • It is not for you if you have your own car (your auto policy already protects you), or if the person whose car you use lives with you (get added to their policy instead).

Unsure if it's the right fit? Three quick questions.

Can you add an SR-22 to a Farmers non-owner policy?

Your insurer sends the state an SR-22 form to prove you carry at least the minimum coverage. Most drivers who do not own a car obtain one through a non-owner policy. Before you purchase, the call lets you confirm if Farmers will submit the form with a non-owner policy where you live, and how quickly.

How long you carry an SR-22 and what it does.

Estimated price at Farmers after a ticket, accident, or DUI

  • +20%After one speeding ticket, the amount shifts to about $62 monthly, up from $51.
  • +60%A crash you caused: about $82 a month, up from $51.
  • +78%One drunk-driving charge (DUI) brings it to about $91 a month, rather than $51.

These are estimates, not figures from Farmers itself: industry-wide average increases, placed on top of Farmers's US average. Farmers's specific rate hike could be different; see the source for these projections.
