Do I need a non owners car insurance policy if I'm listed as a driver on a liability policy of my dad's car?

I'm listed as a driver on my dad's car insurance policy, and I'm the only person who uses the car. However, I wanted to remove the burden of the insurance policy by getting my own non owners car insurance policy. Can I do this?

“No, you can’t have only a
non owners car insurance
policy on a vehicle if it’s available for regular use.
You’ll need to keep at least state-minimum
liability coverage
on the car, which you should already have as a driver on your father’s policy.
If it’s a financial burden for him to maintain the policy (or just a nuisance), you can find out if you qualify for any discounts with you and your dad’s current carrier. Alternatively, you two can shop around for quotes and switch over to a cheaper policy.
