What Does Car Insurance Cover?
NC requires minimum liability coverage, but most drivers benefit from more comprehensive protection. Here's what the key coverages actually do.
Liability Coverage
NC requires minimum 50/100/50 liability coverage (as of July 1, 2025). Liability pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others in an accident.
Collision
Covers damage to your car from a collision with another vehicle or object — regardless of fault.
Comprehensive
Covers non-collision damage: theft, vandalism, flooding, hail, falling trees, and animal strikes.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist
Protects you if you're hit by a driver with no insurance or not enough insurance to cover your expenses.
Medical Payments
Pays medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of who's at fault.
Rental Reimbursement & Towing
Covers rental car costs while yours is being repaired, plus roadside assistance and towing.
What Car Insurance Does NOT Cover
Understanding these gaps helps you avoid surprises at claim time.
Mechanical Breakdown
Wear and tear, engine failure, and routine maintenance are not covered by auto insurance. You'd need a separate mechanical breakdown warranty.
Personal Property in Your Car
If your laptop or belongings are stolen from your car, that's typically covered by your homeowners or renters insurance — not your auto policy.
