What Is an Umbrella Policy and Do You Need One?
An umbrella policy adds extra protection on top of your home and auto coverage. Here is how it works and who it helps the most.
How umbrella insurance works
An umbrella plan starts paying after your home or auto insurance runs out. It gives you extra protection, often adding a million dollars or more.
Who benefits most from umbrella coverage?
If you have a pool, rent out property, have a teen driver, or own a lot of valuable things, an umbrella plan is a smart idea.
- • Homeowners who own more than their current insurance would pay out.
- • Families with teen drivers or lots of guests at the house.
- • Business owners who want extra personal protection on top of their business insurance.
