Some owner policies cover borrowed vehicles, but the policy terms must be checked to be sure what is covered and what is not covered. Credit cards sometimes automatically cover the insurance of a rented vehicle when used for payment. However, not all cards pay, and some place restrictions on the insurance, such as limits on the coverage, and exclusions for certain vehicles.



There are some things that non owner policies don't cover. They typically don't cover collision or comprehensive, which pays for repairs to the car that is being driven, in the event of an accident. They also usually are secondary to any primary insurance - they will only pay if you don't have other insurance that pays first. There are some other conditions that must be met in order for the non owners insurance policy to be in effect. The car must not be owned or registered by the policy holder. It must not be a vehicle that is furnished by an employer for work related reasons. It can not be a vehicle that is borrowed regularly, and with some policies the car must not be owned by any member of the same household as the policy owner. Towing., as with most owner policies, is not usually included in the coverage. There are probably exclusions on using vehicles to commit crimes, but most of user won't fall into that category, except for occasionally speeding a little over the limit when we are late for brunch, or for work.



Rates for a non owners insurance policy are competitive, and considering the cost of driving without insurance, well worth the costs. Car rental agencies can often provide their own coverage at an additional cost, but if a person rents autos frequently, having their own coverage can be cheaper. Premium rates can take into consideration the frequency with which cars are rented, so as to not overcharge. When choosing a insurer policy, terms and conditions should be read carefully after comparing quotes. Your policy is a contract, and it tells you exactly what you need to know before deciding. Make sure you read and understand a policy before getting it.
