Personal Umbrella Insurance for Koyuk 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 landlord or marina needs.
Why Koyuk Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Remote locations, harsh winters, outdoor activities, and potential for large liability claims from accidents increase the chance of significant financial exposure. 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 & Landlord 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 or more. If your current policy is at minimums, we’ll upgrade your underlying limits 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 watercraft, ATVs, and other 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 and business owners often need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
Koyuk Property Requirements
In rural Alaska, including Koyuk, properties may have specific local regulations. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your lender, association, or local authorities ask.
Tip: Keep records for winter driving training, home security, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
