Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Umbrella Policy- 1M or 2M?

$

Just doing an annual review of our insurance policies....we've carried a 1M umbrella policy with Amica for years. Pretty standard assets, 4 cars, 1 house, 401K.

When/why would one increase coverage from 1M to something higher, 2M being the next step up? Currently 1M coverage is $582 annually, it would be an extra $374 for 2M.

Thoughts???
Rephrasing: "Is increasing my umbrella from $1M to $2M worth $374?" It doesn't help you to know rates other people are paying. I assume you've shopped rates, or have other reasons why $374 is your cost. Umbrella insurance isn't a commodity and is very specific to you. It's not like the consumer questions we get about how much to pay for a new Corolla with a specified list of options and MSRP.

I'd probably consider factors like my age, whether I had a spouse or kids, what some of my lifestyle exposures were, what my income and expenses were (so, how much $374 meant to me), how much I had in assets... and maybe other things I can't think of right now. We don't know you well enough to consider those things.
