Key Differences in Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance

Adding a Layer or Reviewing a Program

biBerk offers online or phone quote access for umbrella that must accompany existing liability coverage, and says only underlying coverages already included can receive protection. WithCoverage includes umbrella in a program audit that reads and benchmarks policies against market terms, limits, and premiums for construction and consumer businesses. If your immediate task is finding an added limit, ask biBerk for terms; if you want to review an existing program while keeping your broker, WithCoverage documents that audit route. 3 7

Audit Timeline and Scope

WithCoverage says its audit is no-cost, does not require leaving the current broker, and typically takes about one business day after receiving policy documents. biBerk’s route is a quote for its own umbrella layer. 9 3
