Cost for North Carolina car insurance

Auto insurance companies consider several factors to determine your car insurance costs, including:

Location: If you live within a ZIP code that has relatively high instances of crime or theft, you may see higher premiums than drivers who live just a few towns over. Whether you live in Charlotte, Raleigh, Fayetteville, or Greensboro, Dairyland offers affordable auto insurance options to help keep you safe. Get a quote now.
Years of driving experience: Your years of driving experience are determined by the date you first received your original driver’s license. Your rates improve as you gain more experience.
Your car: The make, model, and age of your vehicle will impact your rates. Newer vehicles with advanced technology or custom parts can be more expensive to repair—and insure—than older models with standard parts. Additionally, in North Carolina, your car must be 20 years old or newer to get collision and other-than-collision (comprehensive) coverage from Dairyland.

Credit score: Insurers often use your insurance score to help determine your premium rates. Because your credit score plays a role in determining your insurance score, having a higher credit score can help you get better rates.
Driving record: You’ll typically pay more for insurance if you have violations, speeding tickets, or accidents on your record. Some North Carolina auto insurance providers won’t allow optional coverages, such as collision or other-than-collision (comprehensive) if you have multiple violations over the past three years. If you’ve been turned down for coverage with another provider, call us at 888-344-4357 to get your free quote and get covered, regardless of your history.
