"Wondering if anyone's looked into umbrella policies? They're pretty affordable and can save your skin if things get serious...might be worth considering."
Good call on umbrella policiesβdefinitely something people overlook. Have you checked if your current auto policy limits are high enough before adding an umbrella? Because usually, umbrella policies kick in only after you've maxed out your underlying coverage. Seen a few cases where folks thought they were covered, but their base limits weren't sufficient, so the umbrella didn't even activate. Might wanna double-check that first...
Yeah, umbrella policies are underrated for sure. Had a buddy who got into a nasty accidentβhis regular coverage maxed out quick, and the umbrella policy saved him from financial ruin. Definitely worth the peace of mind...
I've thought about umbrella policies before, but always wonderedβdoes it really make sense for someone with just one car and no major assets? I mean, my old sedan isn't exactly a luxury ride (unless rust counts as a premium feature these days...). Is there a point where it's overkill, or is it still worth considering even if you're not exactly swimming in assets? Curious how others see this...
Honestly, I used to think the same thingβwhy bother if you don't have much? But my agent pointed out it's not just about protecting your assets, it's also about shielding your future income if you're ever found liable. That kinda changed my perspective...
"it's also about shielding your future income if you're ever found liable."
That's true, but honestly, relying just on basic insurance might leave you exposed. Learned the hard way after a fender-bender with my vintage Mustang... consider bumping up coverage limits or adding an umbrella policy. Just my two cents.
