Your vehicle represents freedom, independence, and a significant investment worth protecting. Our comprehensive auto insurance covers:

Liability Coverage

Protects you financially when you're at fault in an accident that injures others or damages their property. North Carolina requires minimum liability coverage, but we often recommend higher limits to fully protect your assets and future earnings.

Collision Coverage

Pays to repair or replace your vehicle when it's damaged in an accident with another vehicle or object, regardless of who's at fault. Essential protection for newer vehicles or those with outstanding loans.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers damage to your vehicle from non-collision events including theft, vandalism, fire, falling objects, animal strikes, and severe weather. Particularly important in our hurricane-prone region.

Uninsured Motorist

Protects you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage. North Carolina has a significant uninsured driver population, making this coverage essential for every driver.

Medical Payments

Pays medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of fault. Covers immediate medical needs without waiting for liability determinations or health insurance processing.

Roadside Assistance

Provides 24/7 emergency services including towing, battery jumps, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, and lockout assistance. Peace of mind wherever your travels take you.

Driving in Eastern North Carolina

Our coastal region presents unique driving challenges that affect your insurance needs. Our policies address these local factors:

Hurricane Evacuation Routes

When evacuation orders come, you need coverage that protects your vehicle during extended travel and potential storm damage. We ensure your comprehensive coverage addresses hurricane-related risks.

Deer & Wildlife Collisions

Eastern North Carolina's rural highways see frequent deer crossings, especially during fall months. Comprehensive coverage protects against these common and often costly animal strikes.

Coastal Weather Damage

Salt air, flooding from heavy rains, and wind-blown debris create vehicle risks unique to coastal living. Our coverage options address these environmental exposures year-round.

How much auto insurance do I need in North Carolina?

North Carolina requires minimum liability of 30/60/25 ($30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident for injuries, $25,000 for property damage). However, we typically recommend higher limits—a serious accident can easily exceed minimums, putting your assets at risk.

What factors affect my auto insurance rates in Eastern NC?

Rates depend on your driving record, age, vehicle type, credit history, annual mileage, and where you live. Coastal counties may have slightly higher comprehensive rates due to hurricane exposure. We review all factors to find the most competitive pricing.

Does my auto insurance cover rental cars?

Your liability and comprehensive/collision coverage typically extends to rental cars, but there may be gaps. We review your policy before trips to ensure you're protected and advise whether rental company coverage is worth purchasing.

How can I lower my auto insurance premium?

Common savings strategies include bundling policies, increasing deductibles, maintaining a clean driving record, taking defensive driving courses, and qualifying for low-mileage discounts. We identify every available discount when quoting your coverage.

What happens if I'm hit by an uninsured driver?

Your uninsured motorist coverage pays for your injuries and vehicle damage when the at-fault driver has no insurance. Given North Carolina's uninsured driver rate, we strongly recommend carrying UM coverage equal to your liability limits.

Do I need full coverage on an older vehicle?

"Full coverage" (comprehensive and collision) may not be cost-effective if your vehicle's value is low. We help you calculate whether premium costs justify potential payouts, considering your vehicle's current value and your financial situation.
