What matters on this policy

An umbrella policy is the cheapest serious protection in personal insurance. It sits above your home and auto liability limits and takes over when a claim exceeds them.

Why the underlying limits are not enough

A homeowners policy might carry $300,000 or $500,000 of liability. An auto policy might carry similar limits. A serious injury claim — a permanent disability, a multi-vehicle accident, an incident involving a young passenger — can exceed those limits substantially. Everything above the limit is collectible from you personally: savings, investments, and future earnings.

What it costs relative to what it does

A million dollars of umbrella coverage typically costs a few hundred dollars a year. There is no other coverage with that ratio of protection to premium.

Who should carry one

  • Anyone who owns rental property
  • Anyone with a pool, trampoline, dog, or teenage driver
  • Anyone who owns a boat or recreational vehicles
  • Anyone who serves on a nonprofit or association board
  • Anyone with assets worth more than their liability limits

One requirement worth knowing

Umbrella carriers require you to carry specified minimum liability limits on the underlying home and auto policies. Raising those underlying limits is usually inexpensive, and it is a condition of the umbrella responding at all.
