Personal Umbrella Insurance for Ponte Vedra Beach 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 homeowner associations or marina needs.
Why Ponte Vedra Beach Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Coastal living, hurricane risks, boating activities, and community events 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.
Florida Context: Underlying Policies & Landlord Rules
Auto Policy: Minimum Requirements
Florida requires minimum auto liability of $10,000/$20,000 for bodily injury and $10,000 for property damage, but umbrella carriers typically want higher limits like $250k/$500k. We’ll ensure your policy meets these 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 watercraft, ATVs, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Landlords & Business Owners
Florida 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.
Ponte Vedra Beach Regulations
In Ponte Vedra Beach, properties may need to comply with St. Johns County regulations. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your HOA, marina, or local authorities request them.
Tip: Keep records for teen drivers’ training, security systems, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
