Yes, agree completely. But the original poster's complaint was his
belief
that by excluding a friend who borrows his car as an "insured" under
his
umbrella policy, that somehow left the O.P exposed. The O.P is still
covered when the inevitable lawsuit comes, his friend is not. So
increasing the limits on his underlying policies is a complete waste
of
money as far as coverage on himself is concerned.
BINGO! Give that man a ceegar!
Ok..... then, is the friend covered by any sort of insurance that *he*
purchased?

I will defer this for Calf Bill to answer based on his expertise in the
area of personal insurance. Let's see what he has to say on this.
;-)
Bilious Bill has a lot of claims, eh?
I thought RG was our infamous insurance hawker.
This is one of the few times he has an opportunity to add something of
value to the discussion...rather than his usual outhouse overflow.
Get your head out of Harry's ass. The OP was about not being covered by
the umbrella policy if someone not in the family is driving the vehicle.
Yes it was.
Umbrella's cover you when all other insurance is exhausted. And if you
are not covered by the Umbrella when an non relation drives, it is
worthless insurance.
It is not worthless. It covers you and your family....the reason for
purchasing it in the first place. It does not cover others and why should
it? What is so hard in understanding that?
It was never to cover the unrelated person, it was always to cover Yourself
and family if something happens that exceeds the limits on your other
policies.
Yep. Where have I said otherwise?
And most umbrella require at least a $500k policy on the car, boat, etc.
JimH, this is what an umbrella policy is. And if it does not cover you
(never covered the non-insured driver of your car) if an uninsured or
underinsured person drives your car, and gets in an accident, your policy
is worthless!
Yep. So again tell me how I have said otherwise?
HINT: Please go to the original post to this thread.
Now please answer Gene's question. You are obviously the expert. ;-)
