Personal Umbrella Insurance for On Top of the World Households
Add $1M–$10M of liability protection above your auto and home/condo/renters policies. We set the right underlying limits for Florida, coordinate with your HOA or marina needs.
Why On Top of the World Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
With hurricane risks, busy roads, and community living, the chance of large liability claims is higher. 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.
Florida Context: Underlying Policies & Community Rules
Auto Policy: PIP and Liability
Florida requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and property damage liability. Umbrella carriers typically require higher underlying auto liability—often $100k/$300k or more. If your policy is minimal, 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 flood, windstorm, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
HOA and Rental Owners
Florida law and HOAs often require liability insurance for condos and rentals. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; owners may need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
On Top of the World Regulations
In On Top of the World, community rules may require registration and certificates for properties. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your HOA, association, or lender asks.
Tip: Keep records for driver training, storm shutters, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
