What to compare

  • 01

    Underlying schedule

    Which policies and limits must sit beneath the layer. Yours need to match.

  • 02

    Attachment

    Whether the layer attaches after a single occurrence limit, an aggregate or another stated threshold.

  • 03

    Response without underlying

    Whether it can respond when an underlying policy doesn’t, and what retention applies in that case.

  • 04

    Auto and trucking liability

    Whether your commercial auto or trucking liability policy is listed as underlying insurance.

  • 05

    Specialty exclusions

    Whether employment practices, professional liability, product recall and similar exposures are included or excluded.

  • 06

    Extra coverage over underlying

    What claims the layer covers that the policies underneath do not, so you see what the extra premium adds beyond more limit.

  • 07

    Contract-required limits

    How the total limit compares with what your contracts require, and the underlying limits those contracts assume.

Differences to watch for

  • 01

    Auto left out of the schedule

    If auto isn’t scheduled as underlying, a vehicle claim may not reach the extra limits.

  • 02

    Underlying limits that don’t match

    A policy below the stated minimum can leave a gap before the layer begins.

  • 03

    Exclusions for specialty exposures

    An umbrella that excludes product recall or professional claims won’t substitute for those policies.

  • 04

    Named insureds that differ

    If the layer names different parties than your primary policies, protection may not line up.

Common questions

What is the difference between umbrella and excess?

Both add limits above underlying policies. Spot reads each quote’s attachment and coverage terms so you see how this one behaves.

Does an umbrella replace my other liability policies?

No. It sits above them, so those policies’ terms still matter.

Can Spot check a contract’s required limits?

Yes. Send the contract and Spot compares its limits with each quote.

Do I have to change brokers?

No. Keep your current broker or pick a new one; Spot works with either and takes no commissions on premiums.

Get insurance off your to-do list.

An umbrella quote only works if it sits properly above your other policies, so Spot checks the underlying schedule before you compare limits.
