Do I need owner FR44 or non-owner FR44?

Direct Answer

If you own or lease a vehicle, you need owner FR44. If you don’t own any vehicle, non-owner FR44 satisfies the requirement at a lower cost. If you have regular access to a household member’s vehicle, you likely need an owner policy even if the vehicle isn’t in your name.

Quick Decision Guide

  • You own or lease a vehicle → Owner FR44
  • You don’t own any vehicle and don’t have regular access to one → Non-owner FR44
  • You don’t own a vehicle but regularly drive a household member’s car → Likely owner FR44 (check with your carrier)
  • You sold your car and rely on rides/transit → Non-owner FR44

Cost Difference

Non-owner FR44 is significantly less expensive because it doesn’t cover a specific vehicle. If you genuinely don’t own or have regular access to a vehicle, non-owner is the most affordable path to license reinstatement.
