Why Isle Au Haut Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage

Rural roads, waterfront properties, harsh winters, and boating activities 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.

Maine Context: Underlying Policies & Property Rules

Auto Policy: Minimum vs Higher Limits

Maine requires minimum auto liability of $50k/$100k for bodily injury and $25k for property damage, but umbrella carriers typically require higher limits like $100k/$300k. We’ll upgrade your policy if needed 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 boats, ATVs, and waterfront exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.

Waterfront & Rural Owners

Maine regulations for waterfront properties and rentals may require liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; owners of rentals or boats often need a separate policy to cover those.

Isle Au Haut Regulations

In Isle Au Haut, properties near the water may need to comply with local zoning and insurance requirements. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance as needed.

Tip: Keep records for boat safety courses, security systems, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
