Gents, how many of you carry a Umbrella Liability Policy in addition to your regular policies, e.g., Homeowners, Auto, etc. and if so, in what amount of coverage are you carrying?
Also, what is your annual premium for the Umbrella Policy?
I carry a 1 million$ (Apologies to Rocky) Umbrella Policy. My premium just went from 490$/yr. to 695$/yr. and I questioned the amount of increase to my Independent Agent to see why as I already have the maximum liability for Homeowners and Auto.
His answer was that most all have increased across the board but that the purchase of my new duck hunting and fishing camp “in Louisiana “ also contributed to the increase. Louisiana is known as a very litigious state.
I got to thinking about the costs versus exposure and started adding up the inclusions for the Mississippi deer camp, Louisiana camp, UTV, Deer camp Jeep, Homeowners, 2 vehicles, 2 boats, farm equipment use, and several more items of use all covered under the Umbrella Policy and maybe it ain’t a bad deal at all .
Wondering what you guys have and the costs for similar.
I had an umbrella policy a few years back but dropped it once my kids became adults.
Mine was $1M and it was a premium of $270. I assume that was a year, not sure if they did it in 6 month increments.
but in order to get that rate, I had to up my auto insurance to higher minimums which increased the price of my auto insurance, so any savings I got was negated.
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
I have a 1 million umbrella liability policy that covers auto and home policies. And I added a uninsured motorist clause. I am not losing my 2 million house in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii to an accident with an uninsured motorist who sues me. Fthem, make them carry their on insurance. I don't know what the premiums are, but I will not lose anything.
Homeowners, Farm and Ranch, two cars and a truck, atv, concealed carry, and a homeowners. The company I have been with since 1978 started treating me (Mr. No claim) like a cash cow. Went to a local independent and saved 30%. $2000.
The Louisiana duck and fishing camp added 22% to what I paid last year just because but the rest was just simple across the board increases. He did say that costs would most likely be the same and stable for several years pending no big claims.
In talking with the Agent about the Umbrella addition he did mention the Umbrella as being a real plus factor in litigation as far as a defendant showing responsibility towards intent to cover all bases.

Papag, my local Independent saved me a bunch of money compared to what I was paying Farm Bureaucrats a few years ago and for better grades of insurance with less deductibles. The total savings paid half of my vehicles insurance costs.
I guess the comparison here could be made with Credit Unions and Banks with Independent Agents versus the big names.
I didn’t think about the concealed carry that you mentioned. I’ll probably regret asking but I’ll ask about that. Thanks for the head jolt.

Yessir. Indeed. For what uninsured motorists costs you can’t afford not to have it.
I carry a 1 million umbrella plus homeowner's, 2 vehicles, dogs. About 2200 a year total. The quote is cheaper with the umbrella policy than without by about $100.
