How to Get Insurance in 5 Steps

01

Figure Out What You Need

Start with what NC law requires. If you drive, you need auto insurance (minimum 50/100/50 liability). If you rent, your landlord's policy doesn't cover your stuff — you need renters insurance. Buying a home? Your lender will require homeowners insurance.

Tip: Not sure what you need? Our coverage comparison tool breaks it all down side by side.

02

Gather Your Information

For auto: your driver's license number, vehicle year/make/model, and current address. For home or renters: your address, square footage, and any security features. Don't worry if you're missing something — we can look most of it up.

Tip: Having your current policy declarations page (if you have one) helps us find the best rate.

03

Get Your Quote

Call, text, or start online. We'll compare options and explain what each coverage does in plain English (or Spanish). A typical quote takes 15–20 minutes. We'll never push you into coverage you don't need.

Tip: Ask about bundling — combining auto + renters or auto + home can save you 10–25%.

04

Review & Customize

We'll walk through your quote line by line. You'll understand your deductibles, limits, and what's covered vs. what's not. Want to adjust something? We'll show you exactly how each change affects your price.

Tip: Check our insurance glossary if any terms are unfamiliar — we explain everything in plain language.

05

You're Covered

Once you choose your plan, coverage can start the same day. You'll get your ID cards, policy documents, and our direct number for any questions. We're here whenever you need us — not just at renewal time.

Tip: Download the app to manage your policy, file claims, and access your ID card from your phone.
