If you've ever wondered whether you can purchase umbrella insurance on its own, without bundling it with your home or auto policies, the answer is yes. In fact, buying a standalone personal umbrella policy is becoming more common than ever.

What Is Personal Umbrella Insurance?

Personal umbrella insurance provides extra liability coverage that goes above and beyond your home, auto, or other personal insurance policies. It protects you from large claims or lawsuits that could put your savings, assets, or future income at risk.

Think of it as a financial safety net. If you’re involved in a serious car accident or someone is injured on your property and your underlying insurance limits are exhausted, a personal umbrella policy can cover the remaining costs up to your umbrella policy limit.

Why You Need It

High-cost liability claims are more common than many people realize. Medical bills, legal fees, and damages can quickly exceed the limits of your base policies. Personal umbrella insurance helps make sure that one unexpected incident doesn’t jeopardize your financial future.

If you own a home, drive a car, have savings, or simply want added peace of mind, a personal umbrella policy is a smart move.

Why Standalone Umbrella Insurance Is Gaining Popularity

Traditionally, personal umbrella policies were bundled with your home and auto insurance through the same carrier. But that approach is changing. More carriers are starting to separate personal umbrella coverage from their bundled offerings, making it harder to secure this protection as part of a package.

That’s where standalone umbrella policies come in.
