Reader’s Question:

I am twenty years old, living in Chicago, Illinois without a job and looking to get non-owners auto insurance.Is it possible to acquire non owners so that I am able to drive my fathers car to look for a job? I still live in the same household with him.

Non-owners car insurance policies are for motorist who do not own a car but be aware that typically this policy will not cover you driving other vehicles owned by family members or other members of the household in which you reside. Therefore a non-owners policy would not help cover you to drive your father’s vehicle since you still live in the residence with him.

If you live in a household, normally, even if you are not the registered owner of a car but drive it, you should be on the car insurance policy for the car. So since you do live in the same household as your father you would need to be on his auto insurance policy. Most insurance providers require that all household licensed drivers be listed on the car insurance policy. If you are not listed then you may see about being added and if need be paying for your portion of the car insurance bill, which will likely be cheaper than you buying your own auto insurance policy.
