umbrella renewal

Can yall share what you pay for how much umbrella? I looked through the forum and found a discussion dated 2014 but nothing recent. Maybe I didnt use the right search terms.

Just got our umbrella policy renewal. We carry $2m. Last year: $273. We bought a new Subaru Forester midyear and it went to $403. This year it remains $403. Does this seem realistic to yall? I looked for a survey of umbrella premiums and haven't seen one yet. Our underlying liabilities are a 100K rental prop, a 400k residence, a beater car and a Subaru Forester. We have USAA and we have all policies with them (yeah I know, theyre high sometimes but they have paid 100pct of the time within a day of loss or so, so we stay with them. Reroofed the rental prop no probs etc etc) Is this just the regular USAA markup, is everyone's this high? What do yall think? We are in South Texas if that's relevant.

THanks

I think that $273 might have been an error by USAA. We live in the same area, also insure with USAA and are paying $348 for $1M.

Ours is $328 for 2M policy. House ($800K) is actually cheap (@ $465/yr) compared to when we lived in TX. Three vehicles (2016, 2017, 2019), tho I don't see how value of vehicles should impact it much. We have been with State Farm for last 30 years. Our last (and only) insurance claim was in the early 1990s.

For $1 million and 3 cars in the mid-atlantic, $224/year.


Edited to add: this is through GEICO. The above posts reminded me that I need to check on the premium for a $2 million policy. The quote for me was $370 annually.

As a former underwriter way back in my former career, it seems odd to me that a new vehicle that is not a sports car would affect your umbrella premium. Generally the umbrella policy is rated with two cars, the make and model being irrelevant unless, again, high performance.

Things may have changed. When we added a 3rd car (SUV) to our policy last year, our umbrella policy went up by $23 annually.

It will vary greatly depending on personal circumstances. I don't think getting a couple dozen responses here will tell you much.

Shopped around last year for cheaper to no avail.

$400 sounds totally reasonable to me. That said, there is always the chance that you’ll find something lower if you shop around. It’s highly unlikely though that it will be significantly less, so it may not be worth the effort, especially if you are otherwise pleased with their service.

I pay $112/yr for $1M coverage. I am single, no kids, with one F-150 truck. The policy did not change when I moved from my Jeep Grand Cherokee to the F-150. The policy has not changed in price since I initially purchased it 7 years ago.

$978 for $2mil in FL.

Getting all new quotes because our homeowners ins keeps getting cancelled and then gets increased significantly by the new company. We haven't had a HO claim in 30+ years (maybe never).

It's a pain but they just keep increasing the rates.

Includes four cars, home plus a rental.

We paid $457 for 1M at State Farm. Last week, I dropped the last kid off of our insurance and my agent says it will go down to $167. Two newish cars. Middle of the country.

I'm in the process of shopping for insurance for the first time in 40 years. So far, no luck finding anything lower than what I have.
