Personal Umbrella Insurance for Glentana Households
Add $1M–$10M of liability protection above your auto and home/condo/renters policies. We set the right underlying limits for Montana, coordinate with your rural property or recreational needs.
Why Glentana Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Rural roads, expansive properties, winter weather hazards, and recreational 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, property 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 Montana.
Montana Context: Underlying Policies & Property Rules
Auto Policy: Minimum vs Higher Limits
Montana requires a minimum auto liability of $25k/$50k, but umbrella carriers typically require higher underlying auto liability—often $250k/$500k or more. If your policy is at minimums, we’ll upgrade your underlying limits 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 recreational vehicles, farms, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Landlords & Business Owners
Montana 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.
Glentana Property Regulations
In Glentana, ensure compliance with local property rules; we’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your lender or associations require them.
Tip: Keep records for driver training, security systems, and any animal training—these can help with underwriting.
