Who qualifies for a GEICO non-owner policy?

  • A non-owner policy is right for you if no car stays at your home (not yours, not a housemate’s) and you frequently drive borrowed, rented, or shared vehicles, or your state asks for an SR-22 before you get back behind the wheel.
  • It does not match your situation if you own a car (your policy already protects you), or if you live with the person who owns the vehicle you drive (ask to be put on their policy instead).

Wondering if it's the right fit? Three short questions.

With non-owner insurance, will GEICO provide an SR-22?

An SR-22 is a filing from your insurer telling the state that you carry the minimum coverage required. Most drivers who lack their own car get one through a non-owner policy. The call before you buy checks whether GEICO will file it in your state alongside a non‑owner policy, plus the speed of filing.

How long you carry an SR-22, and the way it works.

What GEICO may charge after a ticket, a crash, or a DUI

  • +20%If you have one speeding ticket, expect about $46 a month rather than $38.
  • +60%One at-fault crash raises the monthly cost to roughly $61 instead of $38.
  • +78%For a DUI (drunk-driving charge), the average climbs to about $68 a month, up from $38.

They are not GEICO's own figures: the industry-wide average increase was applied to GEICO's US average to produce these estimates. GEICO's increase could vary; where those estimates come from.

As GEICO puts it, non-owner car insurance offers liability‑only protection for people who drive cars they borrow, rent, or share. It turned up in more state rate reports with a non-owner price than any other big insurer.

How much does GEICO cost?

GEICO's national average came to $458 a year (about $38 a month) for a 40‑year‑old driver with no tickets or claims who selects the state minimum. Its cheapest state average was in South Dakota, where it ran $114 a year, and its most expensive was in Massachusetts at $1,066.

Who the policy fits

For most drivers, starting with a GEICO quote is a smart move. Among companies open to all buyers, its national average was the lowest.

GEICO's US average, $458 a year, is the lowest of the 7 companies anyone can buy from. USAA is lower at $207, but it sells only to military families, and in some states another company charges less than GEICO.

It does not suit you if you own a car. It also does not suit you if the car you drive belongs to someone in your home; in either case, ask to be listed on that policy instead.
