What the policy covers

A non-owner policy provides liability coverage only. The minimum requirement in South Carolina is 25/50/25, and this policy must meet it.

If you cause a crash in a borrowed car, it pays other people. The vehicle you drive isn't repaired under this policy. The owner's policy usually pays first.

Policy costs

No official average exists for non-owner policies. Car owners in South Carolina pay an average of $963 a year for liability coverage; non-owner policies are usually cheaper because you don't keep a car in your driveway every day.
