Non-owner car insurance

If you do not own a car, non-owner car insurance (Commonly referred to as Personal Mobility Coverage) helps provide protection while driving or occupying a rented or borrowed car. If you’re thinking rideshares, carshares, car rentals, and public transportation, personal mobility coverage offers you protection.

Contact a State Farm® agent about non-owner coverage options. (Personal mobility coverage is currently available only to California residents.)

What are the benefits of personal mobility insurance?

  • You’re covered as a pedestrian or as the passenger or driver of a vehicle you don’t own.
  • It may cost less than purchasing coverage through a rental company.
  • It can provide proof of insurance.
  • When you bundle the purchase with your State Farm Homeowners or Renters policy, the savings can multiply.

What does personal mobility insurance cover?

The policy that covers a rideshare company, its driver and their car may not adequately cover you when using rideshares, carshares or renting a car. State Farm Personal Mobility Insurance may fill those gaps. 

  • You’re a rideshare passenger injured in an auto accident because of the rideshare driver’s negligence or fault.
  • You’re injured while in, entering or exiting a rideshare vehicle.
  • You’re hit by an uninsured motorist while riding a bicycle or motorized scooter.footnote 1
  • You're injured as a pedestrian or as the passenger or driver of a vehicle you don't own.

Other passenger or pedestrian benefits from personal mobility insurance could provide medical payments coverage and uninsured motor vehicle coverage.

Coverage in action

Let’s say you borrow your friend’s car to run errands and accidentally hit another car, damaging both vehicles. Personal mobility insurance could help cover the repairs to each vehicle.

How does personal mobility coverage work with renting a car?

Say you’ve rented a car without your own auto insurance and rear-end a vehicle at a stop light. Damage to the rental could be covered, minus a $500 deductible, up to what state law requires. Your personal mobility coverage — which typically costs a lot less than additional rental coverage — could also cover loss of use and other related administrative charges assessed to you under the rental contract terms. Available coverage options include:

  • Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability
  • Uninsured Motor Vehicle Property Damage coverage
  • Comprehensive ($500 deductible)
  • Collision ($500 deductible)
  • Emergency Road Service (ERS)
