I am 21, and I want to purchase non-owners insurance. I am currently staying with my roommate. She has a car and is willing to let me drive. Can I purchase the non owners car insurance. If so, can I get it immediately, and where can I purchase it?

A "non owner" insurance policy typically includes liability, medical payments, and uninsured motorist. Now, many insurance companies offer this policy to someone who drives occasionally but does not own a vehicle. The keyword is "occasionally."
