How to get your home, auto, or umbrella rate in three steps

One page from your current policy is all it takes. You won't fill out a long form, and you'll hear back from a person.

  1. 1Send your current policy

    Take a photo of your declarations page, or upload the PDF. That one page shows your coverage, your limits, your deductibles, and your premium.

  2. 2John or Allen reads it

    A person goes through what you have today, including each limit and deductible, and notes anything your policy leaves out, such as flood.

  3. 3You get your rate from a person

    John or Allen calls, texts, or emails you with your rate and what would change. Rates depend on underwriting. Coverage depends on the policy terms.

Send your insurance policy to the Magic Box

It's the fastest way to a rate: one photo or PDF instead of a long form. John or Allen reads it and comes back to you.

  1. Find your declarations page

    It's usually the first page of your policy or renewal packet. You can also download it from your insurer's website or app.

  2. Take a photo or choose a file

    Lay the page flat in good light with all four corners showing. A PDF or a screenshot works too.

  3. Send everything at once

    Home, auto, and umbrella can go together. We sort them, and each policy gets its own review.

How home, auto, and umbrella insurance fit together

Your home and auto policies each have a liability limit, the most the policy pays if you're found responsible for someone else's injury or property damage. A personal umbrella policy sits above those limits and picks up where they stop.

Your auto policy pays
$250,000
Your umbrella pays
$500,000
Left for you to pay
$0

What your umbrella adds

Liability protection above your home, auto, or renters limits, typically $1 million or more, according to New York's Department of Financial Services. It usually also covers offenses such as libel, slander, false arrest, and invasion of privacy.

Why they get set up together

Insurers may require certain minimum liability limits on your primary policies before they'll write an umbrella. Change one limit and it can affect the others, so we look at all three as one picture.
