Common Questions

While NC requires 50/100/50, we recommend 100/300/100 to properly protect your assets and future earnings.
Driving record, age, vehicle type, credit score, and location all play a role. NC also uses the "Safe Driver Incentive Plan" which adds surcharges for violations.
You may be able to reduce your premium by bundling home and auto policies, maintaining a clean driving record, asking about available discounts, increasing your deductible if you have adequate savings, and comparing quotes from multiple carriers through an independent agent.
The NC Safe Driver Incentive Plan is a statewide system that adds surcharge points to your insurance for moving violations and at-fault accidents. Points remain on your record for 3 years and can increase your premium. Maintaining a clean record for 3 years removes all surcharge points.
An independent agent like Bill Layne Insurance represents multiple insurance carriers, comparing quotes from several companies on your behalf. A captive agent works for only one company and can only offer that company's products. Independent agents can help you find more competitive pricing by shopping your coverage across multiple carriers.
