Personal Umbrella Insurance for Funkley Households
Add $1M–$10M of liability protection above your auto and home/condo/renters policies. We set the right underlying limits for Minnesota, coordinate with your rural property or recreational needs.
Why Funkley Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Rural roads, harsh winters, recreational activities like boating or hunting, and property ownership 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.
Minnesota Context: Underlying Policies & Property Rules
Auto Policy: Minimum Requirements
Minnesota requires a minimum auto liability of $30k/$60k for bodily injury and $10k for property damage. Umbrella carriers typically require higher underlying auto liability—often $100k/$300k or more. If your policy is at the minimum, we’ll upgrade your underlying limits to qualify.
Home/Condo/Renters Liability
Most umbrellas require at least $100k–$300k personal liability on your homeowners/condo/renters policy. We’ll also look at recreational vehicles, boats, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Landlords & Property Owners
Minnesota law requires owners of rental properties to carry liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; landlords may need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
Funkley Area Regulations
In rural Minnesota areas like Funkley, properties may have specific requirements for insurance related to zoning or recreational use. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your lender or local authorities ask.
Tip: Keep records for driver training, security systems, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
