Personal Umbrella Insurance for Ranchettes Households
Add $1M–$10M of liability protection above your auto and home/condo/renters policies. We set the right underlying limits for Wyoming, coordinate with your rural property or recreational needs.
Why Ranchettes Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Wide-open roads, rural properties, severe weather like blizzards, 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, and future income.
We’ll sync your base policies with carrier requirements, then add an umbrella limit that fits your household, drivers, and properties.
Wyoming Context: Underlying Policies & Property Rules
Auto Policy: Minimum Requirements
Wyoming requires minimum auto liability of $25k/$50k for bodily injury and $20k for property damage. Umbrella carriers typically require higher underlying auto liability—often $100k/$300k 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, livestock, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Landlords & Property Owners
Wyoming law requires owners of rental properties to carry liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; landlords and property owners often need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
Ranchettes Area Regulations
In Ranchettes, near Cheyenne, properties may need to comply with Laramie County zoning and insurance requirements. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your lender, association, or county asks.
Tip: Keep records for driver training, security systems, and any animal training—these can help with underwriting.
