As of December 8, 2016, Nationwide Insurance entered into an agreement in which National General Holdings Corps will obtain the renewal rights for Nationwide’s personal and commercial non-standard vehicle in-force policies. As a result, Nationwide will no longer be renewing the non-standard automobile policies, offering opportunities for people who are currently insured to renew elsewhere.

 

Layman’s Terms

 

Non-standard auto insurance is another industry term for high-risk insurance. This type of coverage refers to individuals who have had numerous accidents or driving violations or have not been insured continuously for five years or longer. Many insurance providers choose to deny coverage to these types of drivers, forcing them to go with companies not streamlined or well-known, which usually means companies with rates that go through the roof. Nationwide has decided to offer this type of coverage through National General Holdings Corp, thereby removing the non-standard insurance policies from their records.

 

Other Options

 

Should you prefer to go with a more well-known insurance company in North Carolina, you have options. Of course, the standard companies that have always covered non-standard drivers will likely still be available, however, because Nationwide has sold its rights to renewals, loyalty discounts do not apply to these drivers.
