How much does non-owner car insurance cost in Maine?

Insurance companies consider non-owner policyholders as less of a risk due to their minimal access to a vehicle, and therefore, it’s usually cheaper to buy a non-owner insurance policy than full coverage auto insurance.

On average in the United States, it costs a driver with a clean driving record and good credit score $1,682 a year for a 100/300/100 full coverage insurance policy—$100,000 for injuries you cause in an accident, up to $300,000 per accident, and $100,000 for property damage. In Maine, full coverage car insurance costs $1,122.

On the other hand, non-owner car insurance is $353 a year on average in the U.S. and $235 in Maine.

But various factors affect individual rates, such as where in Maine you live, your age and driving history and other factors.
