Personal Umbrella Insurance for Recluse 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 property or recreational needs.
Why Recluse Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Rural roads, winter weather, farming activities, and outdoor recreation 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.
Wyoming Context: Underlying Policies & Property Rules
Auto Policy: Liability Options
Wyoming requires minimum auto liability coverage, but higher limits are recommended. Umbrella carriers typically require underlying auto liability—often $250k/$500k or a $300k combined single limit. If your current policy is minimal, we’ll upgrade your underlying limits 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 recreational vehicles, ATVs, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Property & Business Owners
Wyoming law requires owners of rental properties or businesses to carry liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; property owners often need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
Recluse Area Considerations
In rural Wyoming areas like Recluse, properties may require specific insurance for farming equipment or outdoor activities. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your lender or associations ask.
Tip: Keep records for driver training, security systems, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.

- High-severity crashes on rural roads or involving multiple vehicles

How Much Limit? What Does It Cost in WY?
Most Recluse families start at $1M–$2M. If you have multiple drivers, outdoor equipment, or higher assets, consider $3M–$5M or more. Pricing is often a few hundred dollars per year for the first million, with additional millions costing less each.
