Colonial General Insurance Agency, Inc. offers a flexible, competitive Personal Umbrella Insurance program tailored for clients who need higher limits of liability across a variety of personal exposures. As a Managing General Agency and Excess & Surplus Lines broker, Colonial General gives independent agents and brokers access to multiple markets and specialized underwriting to help place straightforward and complex personal risks.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program suits clients with higher-than-average liability exposures. Typical accounts include:
- Households with high-value primary or secondary homes, rental properties, or multiple residences
- Owners of sports cars, motorcycles, jet skis, ATVs, snowmobiles, or golf carts
- Families with teen or multiple drivers in the household
- Public figures, celebrities, and other high-profile individuals
- Risks with active farm or ranch exposures
- Insureds seeking excess liability above an existing umbrella policy
Colonial General is particularly useful when a client’s primary auto or homeowners coverage is placed with a different carrier — the umbrella can often be written regardless of the underlying insurer.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
- Limits available from $1 million to $10 million
- Primary and excess umbrella structures offered
- Driver exclusions can be applied to manage household members with poor driving records
- Coverage extendable to additional residences, including rental properties
- Targeted pricing with competitive rates for qualified risks
- Solutions for standard accounts and harder-to-place exposures
Example: you might have a client who owns a vacation rental, drives a luxury sports car, and has a teen driver at home. This program lets you tailor an umbrella to bridge coverage gaps and provide broader liability protection.
Underwriting Notes
Underwriting is collaborative and flexible. Colonial General will work with you to engineer placements that use driver exclusions and other risk controls where appropriate. While specific minimum premiums are not listed publicly, the program is priced competitively based on the risk characteristics and limits you select. Complex or unusual exposures should be submitted with full risk details for an accurate assessment.
Territories and Availability
Available in the following Western states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Some states may be written on admitted paper while others use non-admitted / E&S markets depending on the carrier and the risk profile.
