Typically, non-owners insurance is a policy you purchace to give you liability protection for when you are at fault and don't own a vehicle.
The qualifications for using it would be to first have the policy and then it would be limited to the coverage definitions and exclusions in that policy. Those are typically standard to the coverage you have. For example, to get a non-owners policy you would only purchase Bodily Injury Liability, Property Damage Liability, Medical Payments, Uninsured Motorist and/or Underinsured Motorist, depending on the state.
You want to verify that any vehicle you drive is insured. The owner of that vehicle is required to insure it. A non-owners policy would be secondary to that insurance.
