North Carolina Auto Insurance Requirements

North Carolina auto insurance requirements are minimal and straightforward. All North Carolina drivers must maintain a minimum amount of auto insurance liability protection. Liability will pay for bodily injury and property damage resulting from an accident for which the insured driver is responsible. According to North Carolina auto insurance laws, the minimum amounts of liability required are $30,000 for medical expenses incurred by a single driver, $60,000 for the combined medical expenses in a single accident, and $25,000 of property damage liability protection.

Comprehensive and collision protection are not mandated by North Carolina car insurance laws, but most drivers need to purchase these valuable coverages for the financial protection they afford. Collision and comprehensive cover repair or replacements costs after your vehicle sustains damages in a covered loss. Failure to carry collision coverage will result in your having to pay the entire repair bill for your car out of pocket, which could be a devastating expense if you drive a newer vehicle. Moreover, if you still owe money on your vehicle, most lenders require drivers to purchase comprehensive coverage until the auto loan is paid off.

While not part of North Carolina car insurance requirements, underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage is always a wise addition to your auto policy. This coverage will help pay for damages caused by a driver who either does not have auto insurance or does not carry enough coverage to pay for all of the damages. Without this protection, the owner of the vehicle would have no choice but to pay for the ensuing medical and repair expenses out of pocket and then try to sue the driver at fault for restitution. If you are the victim of a hit-and-run accident, uninsured motorist coverage will also apply.
