However, this simple explanation doesn’t include the concept of non-owner insurance. Pronto Insurance offers this type of cheap auto insurance policy, and it’s worth taking a look at. What is SR-22 Non-Owner Insurance? Before we go any further, let’s look at this type of policy. Non-owner car insurance is a liability-only coverage for drivers who do not own a car but still need car insurance. This type of policy is inexpensive and much cheaper than a more traditional one.  You can get the coverage you need for a low monthly cost because it only covers damage you cause to other drivers (bodily injury) and their property. It offers no collision or comprehensive coverage for the vehic...
