Personal Umbrella Insurance for Fort Greely Households
Add $1M–$10M of liability protection above your auto and home/condo/renters policies. We set the right underlying limits for Alaska, coordinate with your remote property or recreational needs.
Why Fort Greely Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Remote locations, harsh winter conditions, outdoor recreational activities, 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.
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 $250k/$500k or more. If your policy is at minimums, we’ll upgrade your underlying limits to qualify.
Home/Condo/Renters Liability
Most umbrellas require at least $300k personal liability on your homeowners/condo/renters policy. We’ll also look at snowmobiles, ATVs, and other recreational exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Property Owners
Alaska law requires owners of rental properties to carry liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; property owners may need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
Fort Greely Specifics
In Fort Greely, consider military base requirements for housing and vehicles. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your lender, association, or local authorities ask.
Tip: Keep records for winter driving courses, security systems, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
