Questions

Umbrella, answered

Common questions we hear.

How much umbrella coverage do I need?

A common starting point is enough to cover your net worth and future earnings at risk. Your broker can walk through your assets, drivers, properties and risks to suggest limits.

Does it replace my auto or home insurance?

No. It sits on top of them. Your auto and homeowners policies pay first, and the umbrella applies once those limits are exhausted.

Do I need my auto and home with the same company?

Not always, but some carriers have requirements or offer better pricing when policies are bundled. We check this for you.

Is it available outside California?

Currently our umbrella service is for California residents.
