Insurance

Extra coverage to help protect against the unexpected.

What is Umbrella Insurance?

Umbrella insurance is a safety net that helps protect you from unexpected events—e.g., major accidents, lawsuits, and property damage—by providing coverage* that goes beyond the limits of your home and auto insurance policies.

It takes only a few moments for accidents and other unexpected things to happen. And while no one can see into the future, Mercury’s umbrella insurance coverage can help you prepare for it for as little as $1 a day.

How Does an Umbrella Insurance Policy Work?

Imagine that you’ve got a homeowners policy policy with a liability limit of $300,000, and you’re found liable for $1 million in damages for an incident involving your dog.

Your homeowners policy may cover a portion of that, but where’s the rest going to come from? Unfortunately, it’s going to come out of your pocket—unless you have a $1 million umbrella insurance policy. This extra coverage will make up the difference, so you and your assets are protected.
