FAQ

Umbrella insurance, explained plainly

What is umbrella insurance?

An umbrella or excess liability policy provides coverage over and above the liability limits on your standard home or auto policy.

When does it pay?

After you have used up the liability insurance in your underlying policy. It often offers broader coverage than standard policies too.

Who should consider one?

If what you own and have saved is worth more than the liability limits on your policy, an umbrella is worth considering.

Do I need other coverage first?

Yes. Most companies require a minimum of $300,000 of liability insurance on your homeowners policy before they will write umbrella coverage.

What affects the price?

How much underlying insurance you carry and the kind of risk you represent. The more underlying liability coverage you have, the less the umbrella tends to cost.
