Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common auto insurance questions

What factors affect my auto insurance rates?

Your rates are influenced by your driving record, age, location, vehicle type, credit score, coverage levels, and eligible discounts. Safe drivers with good credit typically enjoy lower rates.

Should I choose a higher deductible?

A higher deductible lowers your premium but means more out-of-pocket costs if you file a claim. Consider your financial situation and driving habits when choosing.

What's the difference between comprehensive and collision?

Collision covers damage from accidents with other vehicles or objects. Comprehensive covers non-collision damage like theft, vandalism, weather, and animal strikes.

Do I need uninsured motorist coverage?

Yes, it's required in North Carolina. This coverage protects you when an uninsured or underinsured driver causes an accident, covering your medical bills and vehicle damage.

How can I lower my insurance premium?

Bundle policies, maintain a clean driving record, improve your credit score, take a defensive driving course, and ask about all available discounts. Shopping around annually also helps.
