Why Skagway Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage

Remote locations, winter weather challenges, boating and outdoor recreation risks, and potential for large liability claims from accidents increase the need for extra protection. If a judgment exceeds the limits on your auto or homeowners policy, an umbrella helps safeguard 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.

Alaska Context: Underlying Policies & Property Rules

Auto Policy: Minimum Requirements

Alaska requires a 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 doesn’t meet these, we’ll upgrade your limits to qualify.

Home/Condo/Renters Liability

Most umbrellas require at least $300k personal liability on your homeowners/condo/renters policy. We’ll also consider boats, ATVs, and other recreational exposures common in Alaska 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 may need a landlord or commercial umbrella to cover those policies.

Skagway Property Regulations

In Skagway, properties in remote or tourist areas may have specific insurance needs. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance for lenders, associations, or local authorities as needed.

Tip: Keep records for winter driving courses, security systems, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting in Alaska’s unique environment.
