How much does non-owner car insurance cost in Vermont?
Non-owner insurance is usually less expensive than full coverage auto insurance—insurers consider non-owner policyholders as less risky because they have minimal access to a vehicle.
On average in the U.S., it costs a driver with a clean driving record and good credit score $1,682 annually 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 any damages to property. Full coverage car insurance is $1,102 in Vermont.
On the other hand, non-owner car insurance is $353 a year on average in the United States and $266 in Vermont.
But actual rates are based on where in Vermont you live, your age and driving history and other points.
