Why Bettles Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage

Remote locations, harsh winter conditions, outdoor activities like hunting and boating, and potential for accidents in isolated areas increase the chance of large liability claims. If a judgment exceeds the limits on your auto or homeowners policy, an umbrella helps protect savings, home equity, and future income.

We’ll sync your base policies with carrier requirements, then add an umbrella limit that fits your household, drivers, and properties in Alaska's unique environment.

Alaska Context: Underlying Policies & Property Rules

Auto Policy: Minimum Requirements

Alaska requires minimum auto liability of $50k/$100k for bodily injury and $25k for property damage. Umbrella carriers typically require higher underlying auto liability—often $100k/$300k. If your policy is at minimums, we’ll upgrade to qualify.

Home/Condo/Renters Liability

Most umbrellas require at least $100k personal liability on your homeowners/condo/renters policy. We’ll also look at snowmobiles, ATVs, and other outdoor exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.

Landlords & Business Owners

Alaska law requires owners of rental properties to carry liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; landlords may need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.

Bettles Property Regulations

In Bettles, ensure compliance with local borough requirements for property insurance. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance for lenders or associations as needed.

Tip: Keep records for winter driving courses, home security, and any outdoor equipment—these can help with underwriting.
