We frequently get questions about Umbrella Policies. What are they? Do I need one?
Here are a few basic answers:
It’s a common misconception that an Umbrella Policy is too expensive and only for rich people. Here’s the reality: the vast majority of our customers’ typical possessions and everyday activities make umbrella coverage valuable. And a $1 million Umbrella policy, in many cases, is less than $17.00 a month for an annual policy. A common way to think of umbrella liability coverage is that it is a form of asset protection since it would pay under extraordinary circumstances so that you personally don’t have to.
So who could benefit from an umbrella policy?
People Who:
- Drive a car or let someone else use their car.
- Host dinner parties or other gatherings.
- Have young drivers (or more mature drivers) in the household.
- Have children and participate in carpools or other activities.
- Own a home, rental properties or multiple residences.
- Have a pool, hot tub, trampoline, ATV, boat or motorcycle.
