Alliance Risk vs Kinro Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance

Alliance Risk places umbrella and excess liability coverage that sits above a client's underlying general liability, auto liability or employer's liability policies, describing its role as arranging this additional layer rather than underwriting it. ³Company-reported. Umbrella & Excess Liability Insurance page.

Kinro is a broker: it matches a business to an umbrella or excess carrier rather than underwriting the policy itself, saying the product "can underwrite differently" by operation and that carrier compatibility with the underlying policy schedule affects market fit. ⁷Company-reported.

The reviewed umbrella/excess page does not name the insurers Alliance Risk places this coverage with. ³Not publicly disclosed. Umbrella & Excess Liability Insurance page as read on 2026-09-23; the issuing insurer depends on the specific placement.

Alliance Risk distinguishes umbrella coverage, which it says can broaden protection to some claims not in the underlying policy, from excess coverage, which strictly follows the underlying policy's terms and only extends its limits; both exclude claims already excluded by the underlying policy, first-party property damage, workers' compensation claims and intentional or criminal acts. ³Company-reported. Umbrella & Excess Liability Insurance page, "What Is" and "What Does/Doesn't Cover" sections; the issued policy and declarations control actual terms.

Kinro describes umbrella or excess liability as adding limits above scheduled underlying general liability, commercial auto or employer liability policies, driven by contract, landlord, venue or customer limit requirements. ⁷Company-reported. Umbrella / Excess Liability page introduction and "Coverage" section; actual terms depend on the carrier, underlying schedule and policy placed.

Alliance Risk describes umbrella/excess limits typically starting at $1M and extending to $25M or more, with indicative annual costs of $500–$1,500 for a $1M policy at a small business up to $10,000+ for large or high-risk operations. ³Company-reported.
