Who is eligible for a USAA non-owner policy?

  • This policy suits you when no one in your household (you or a housemate) keeps a car, yet you regularly drive cars you borrow, rent, or share, or your state requires an SR-22 before you can get back on the road.
  • It is not right for you when a car you drive belongs to someone you live with (ask them to add you to their policy) or when you own a car (your policy already covers you).

To buy from USAA, you must be a service member, a veteran, or part of their family. Not sure it fits? Three quick questions.

Can you get an SR-22 added to a USAA non-owner policy?

An SR-22 is the form an insurer sends to the state, confirming you have at least the state’s minimum coverage. Most drivers get one through a non-owner policy when they do not own a car. The call you make before buying tells you if USAA files the form in your state under a non-owner policy, and how quickly.

What an SR-22 does and how long it stays on file.
