On appeal, the Haglers argue that the exclusion in the Endorsement is void because it is in conflict with the statutes governing motor vehicle liability insurance. They contend that N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(3) and (b)(4) requires that, if a policy of insurance (1) offers liability coverage in excess of the minimum limits required by the Act, and (2) contains UM coverage, then the policy must also provide UIM coverage. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(3) and (4) (Cum. Supp. 1997). According to the Haglers, the Endorsement included in their comprehensive insurance policy meets the above criteria, is akin to an “umbrella” policy, and must therefore provide UIM coverage to the Haglers. Furthermore, the Haglers argue that they never selected or rejected UIM coverage under the Endorsement; therefore, they have UIM coverage equal to the amount liability coverage under the Endorsement.
The question before us is whether the Endorsement described above is a separate “owner’s policy of liability insurance,” or merely a part of the comprehensive policy issued to the Haglers. We hold that the Endorsement in question was merely a part of a larger comprehensive policy, that the Form executed by Mr. Hagler was sufficient to reject UIM coverage in excess of $100,000 per person per occurrence, and that the trial court properly entered summary judgment for plaintiff.
I. Underinsured Motorist Coverage Generally
The North Carolina Financial Responsibility Act (the Act) requires that an “owner’s policy of liability insurance” include a description of all vehicles covered by the policy, and provide minimum liability coverage of $25,000/$50,000 for personal injury or death, and $15,000 for property damage. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(l) & (2). The Act further requires that all such liability policies provide protection from uninsured drivers. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(3). If the insurance policy in question offers liability coverage in excess of the minimum limits set forth above and includes UM coverage, then the policy must also provide UIM cover*207age in an amount not less than the minimum liability limits and not more than $1,000,000, as selected by the policy owners. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(4).
With regards to selection or rejection of UIM coverage, the Act provides:
If the named insured does not reject underinsured motorist coverage and does not select different coverage limits, the amount of underinsured motorist coverage shall be equal to the highest limit of bodily injury liability coverage for any one vehicle in the policy. Once the option to reject underinsured motorist coverage or to select different coverage limits is offered by the insurer, the insurer is not required to offer the option in any renewal, reinstatement, substitute, amended, altered, modified, transfer, or replacement policy unless a named insured makes a written request to exercise a different option. The selection or rejection of underinsured motorist coverage by a named insured or the failure to select or reject is valid and binding on all insureds and vehicles under the policy.
Rejection of or selection of different coverage limits for underinsured motorist coverage for policies under the jurisdiction of the North Carolina Rate Bureau shall be made in writing by the named insured on a form promulgated by the Bureau and approved by the Commissioner of Insurance.
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(4).
II. UIM Coverage in Separate, or Umbrella, Policies
In Isenhour v. Universal Underwriters Ins. Co., 341 N.C. 597, 461 S.E.2d 317, reh’g denied, 342 N.C. 197, 463 S.E.2d 237 (1995), our Supreme Court framed an issue of first impression as follows: “[Wjhether a multiple-coverage fleet insurance policy which includes umbrella coverage must offer UIM coverage equal to the liability limits under its umbrella coverage section.” Id. at 603, 461 S.E.2d at 320. After analyzing the purposes of “umbrella” coverage and the North Carolina Financial Responsibility Act, as well as the applicable statutory provisions, our Supreme Court held that the insurer was required to offer UIM coverage to its policy owner in. the umbrella section of the fleet policy. In the Isenhour case there was no evidence that the insured had rejected either UM or UIM coverage in writing or selected a different limit.
*208In Piazza v. Little, 129 N.C. App. 77, 497 S.E.2d 429, disc. review allowed, 348 N.C. 500, 510 S.E.2d 653 (1998), this Court held in accordance with the reasoning of Isenhour that UM and UIM coverage would be available to an insured under the provisions of a separate umbrella policy. In Piazza, we noted that, although the umbrella coverage in Isenhour was provided under one section of a multiple coverage fleet policy, the preamble to the Isenhour policy provided that: “ ‘[t]his entire document constitutes a multiple coverage insurance policy. . . . Each Coverage Part so constituted becomes a separate contract of insurance.’ (Emphasis added).” Piazza, 129 N.C. App. at 81, 497 S.E.2d at 431.
We also note that the Isenhour Court relied heavily on the decision of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, in Krstich v. United Services Auto Ass’n, 776 F. Supp. 1225 (N.D. Ohio 1991). In Krstich, the “umbrella” coverage at issue was provided by a separate insurance policy. Applying North Carolina law, the Krstich Court concluded that an excess liability umbrella policy must provide UIM coverage. Id. at 1234.
III. Selection of UIM Coverage
In this case, there is no dispute that Mr. Hagler executed the Selection/Rejection form for UIM and UM coverage and chose limits of $100,000/$300,000 for bodily injury. The Haglers argue, however, that execution of the Selection/Rejection form as to the underlying policy of automobile insurance would not be effective as to the coverage provided under the Endorsement. In Piazza, we held that “[the policy owner’s] execution of a selection/rejection form in connection with the underlying policy neither rejected nor waived UIM coverage in the umbrella policy.” Piazza, 129 N.C. App. at 83, 497 S.E.2d at 433. The vital distinction betweén Isenhour, Krstich, Piazza, and the case before us is that these cited cases involved two separate policies of insurance, one of which provided “umbrella” coverage. In this case, however, the excess coverage in question is provided under an Endorsement to the Personal Auto Policy issued to the Haglers. It is entitled “Personal Catastrophe Liability Endorsement — North Carolina,” and is merely one of a number of endorsements attached to the policy. It is not a separate policy, and therefore plaintiff was not required to have the Haglers execute another Selection/Rejection Form in connection with the coverage provided under the Endorsement. Furthermore, the Endorsement also clearly excluded any damages which arose out of personal injuries to the insured or a *209member of the insured’s household. The Hagiers do not contend that Mrs. Hagler was not a member of Mr. Hagler’s household.
The Hagiers selected UM and UIM coverages in the amount of $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence, and plaintiff has paid the sum of $100,000 to Ms. Hagler. No further coverage was available to Ms. Hagler under the policy issued by plaintiff, and summary judgment was properly entered for plaintiff by the trial court.
Affirmed.
Judges WYNN and EDMUNDS concur.
