Personal Umbrella Insurance

Personal umbrella insurance helps provide an extra layer of liability protection above certain underlying personal insurance policies, such as homeowners, auto, boat, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle coverage. If a covered liability claim exceeds the limits of an underlying policy, a personal umbrella may help provide additional protection. This can matter after a serious auto accident, injury on your property, boating accident, dog bite, or other covered liability claim.

What it covers

Personal umbrella insurance is designed to provide additional liability limits above certain underlying policies.

What it does not cover

  • Damage to your own property
  • Your own injuries
  • Intentional wrongdoing or intentional harm
  • Business liability unless specifically covered
  • Professional liability
  • Employment-related claims

Who needs it

If you have assets, income, property, vehicles, young drivers, recreational exposures, or liability concerns to protect, personal umbrella insurance belongs in the conversation.

  • Homeowners
  • Drivers with higher liability exposure
  • Households with teen drivers
  • Families with multiple vehicles
  • People with boats, motorcycles, or RVs
  • Property owners or landlords

Independent agency advantage for personal umbrella insurance

Personal umbrella quotes can look simple because they often start with a limit, such as $1 million, $2 million, or $5 million. But underlying limits, household drivers, youthful drivers, vehicles, homes, rental properties, boats, motorcycles, RVs, prior claims, exclusions, and carrier requirements can all affect whether the umbrella fits and whether it will coordinate properly with your other policies. Reasons Insurance helps households compare available options and coordinate umbrella coverage with homeowners, auto, boat, motorcycle, RV, rental property, and other personal insurance policies.

If you are not sure whether your home, auto, drivers, vehicles, boat, motorcycle, RV, rental property, or underlying limits are coordinated correctly, start here. No pressure. No obligation. Just a clearer picture.
