Car Insurance Question  Can a person purchase non-owners policy if he does not hold a US driver license?

We know of no carrier that will insure a foreign or international drivers license with a non-owners policy. It is typically difficult to find auto insurance coverage, non-owners or a normal policy, with a foreign or international license. Most insurance companies will require you to obtain a US driver's license shortly after your insurance policy's inception OR to have a valid US license to start a policy.

While you can likely find a non-owners policy without having a US license, you will be required to obtain a State license to keep the policy from canceling (depending on the company...they give 30 to 45 days).

Some states allow for you to transfer a valid foreign license for a State license without much difficulty so you should check into what the state you reside in requires by contacting the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Our Learning Center has articles and insurance definitions that are can be helpful when shopping for cheap auto insurance.
