SR-22 Without a Car — Indiana

A non-owner SR-22 policy provides liability coverage when you drive a vehicle you don't own. Indiana requires minimum limits of $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 property damage. The policy follows you, not a specific vehicle—it applies when you borrow a friend's car, rent a vehicle, or drive an employer's car for non-business purposes.

The policy does not cover vehicles you own, vehicles registered in your name, or vehicles you have regular access to (such as a household member's car you drive daily). It excludes comprehensive and collision coverage because there's no insured vehicle to repair. The SR-22 endorsement attached to the policy notifies the BMV that you carry the required financial responsibility—the filing itself is not insurance, it's proof you purchased a qualifying policy.

Non-owner SR-22 does not grant you driving privileges during suspension. You cannot drive legally until the BMV formally reinstates your license. The policy exists to satisfy the reinstatement condition; you maintain it for the full required period (typically 3 years for OWI cases in Indiana) to avoid triggering a new suspension for lapse of financial responsibility.
