Renting vehicles in North Carolina and selling customers additional liability and physical damage cover on the rented vehicle
No pre-licensing course. S.L. 2025-45, s. 1(a) rewrote G.S. 58-33-30(d) with effect from 2025-10-01 so that the Commissioner may not require any hours of pre-licensing education of anybody. No examination. The crosswalk chart lists this among the business entity licenses and marks it apart from the rest with one sentence: "No DRLP is required."Every other North Carolina business entity license has to name a Designated Responsible Licensed Person who holds the individual license, and these three do not, which is what makes them limited licenses attached to a trade rather than agency licenses.

No national seller sells a course for this license. No examination, and the license attaches to the rental firm rather than to a person who could buy a course.
