South Carolina auto insurance

South Carolina's minimum auto liability limits are 25/50/25: $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 property damage. South Carolina also requires uninsured motorist coverage at the same minimum limits. Those minimums are lower than North Carolina's 50/100/50, so if you commute into Charlotte, a minimum policy may leave you exposed after a serious accident. Consider higher limits.

If you're moving from North Carolina, you'll need to register your vehicle in South Carolina and carry a South Carolina policy.

Homeowners insurance in Rock Hill

Rock Hill has historic homes near downtown, neighborhoods from the mid-1900s, and many new subdivisions. Things to check:

• Roof and systems. Older homes may need details about roof age, wiring, and plumbing.
• Rebuild cost. New-construction buyers should base dwelling coverage on rebuild cost, not purchase price.
• Flood. The Catawba River runs along the city's eastern edge, and local creeks feed into it. Homeowners policies don't cover flood. Check FEMA's maps for your address.
• Wind and hail. Severe thunderstorms and the remnants of tropical systems can bring wind damage. Ask whether your policy has a separate wind or hail deductible.

Renters and students
