Riding around I-95, US-13, NC-55, and local highways demands coverage built for rural and highway traffic. We’ll set the right liability, UM/UIM, and MedPay, protect your bike with comprehensive & collision, and schedule accessories-all while unlocking real rider discounts.
North Carolina Requirements (What You Must Know)
Minimum Liability
Current NC minimums are $30,000/$60,000 bodily injury and $25,000 property damage. We’ll quote higher limits that better fit Dunn’s highway exposure.
No PIP on Motorcycles
Standard NC auto PIP does not apply to motorcycles. Add Medical Payments (MedPay) to help with ER and follow-ups regardless of fault.
Helmet & Eye Protection
NC has a universal helmet law for operators and passengers under 21; riders 21+ must wear if they’ve had their license less than 2 years or if carrying a passenger under 21. Use approved helmets and eye protection.
Inspection & Lane Splitting
NC requires annual safety inspections for motorcycles. Lane splitting isn’t permitted-ride safely and follow traffic laws.
This is a summary. Your policy controls. We’ll review carrier forms and endorsements with you before binding.
