Protection Wherever Life Takes You
What Does Auto Insurance Cover?
Your policy can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need. We'll walk you through it, but here are the basics:
Liability Coverage
Liability coverage is required by law in North Carolina and protects you if you’re responsible for an accident that injures someone or damages their property. Without it, you could be on the hook for medical bills, vehicle repairs, and even legal costs.
Collision Coverage
Collision coverage takes care of your vehicle repairs or replacement costs after an accident, regardless of who’s at fault. It covers collisions with other vehicles, objects, or even rollovers, ensuring you’re not left with a hefty repair bill after an unexpected mishap.
Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive coverage goes beyond collisions and protects your vehicle from non-accident-related damage. Whether it’s a hailstorm, theft, or a run-in with a deer on a country road, comprehensive coverage helps pay for repairs or the actual cash value of your vehicle if it’s a total loss.
Uninsured/ Underinsured Motorist
Even though insurance is required by law, not every driver follows the rules—and some don’t carry enough coverage to pay for all the damages after an accident. Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage protects you if the other driver can’t cover the costs.
Medical Payments/ Personal Injury Protection
Medical Payments (MedPay) and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) cover medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident—regardless of who’s at fault. These coverages can help with hospital stays and emergency room visits, rehabilitation and ongoing care, and funeral costs in the worst-case scenario
Roadside Assistance & Rental Reimbursemnt
For those who like a little extra security on the road, optional add-ons like roadside assistance and rental reimbursement can keep you moving even when life throws a curveball.
