Personal Umbrella Insurance

Extends liability limits well beyond what homeowners or auto insurance alone provides, for the rare but real claim that exceeds those base limits.

Get a quote for Personal Umbrella

What it covers

  • Additional liability coverage beyond your homeowners and auto policy limits
  • Coverage that activates once underlying policy limits are exhausted
  • Broader protection across multiple areas of personal liability at once
  • Legal defense costs once the umbrella layer is triggered

What it doesn't cover

  • Any claim type not already covered by an underlying homeowners or auto policy
  • Business-related liability, which needs separate commercial coverage
  • Intentional acts
  • First-dollar coverage, since it only responds after underlying limits are used up

Who needs this

Anyone who wants real protection against a catastrophic liability claim, a dog bite, a serious auto accident, an injury on your property, that could otherwise exceed standard policy limits.

Common questions

Personal Umbrella FAQ

How much umbrella coverage do I need?

Common starting points are $1 million to $2 million, though your actual assets and risk factors should guide the real number.

Is this expensive?

Often surprisingly affordable, frequently a few hundred dollars a year for a meaningful amount of additional protection.

Does this replace my homeowners or auto liability coverage?

No, it sits on top of those policies, only responding once their limits are exhausted.
