Personal Insurance in Phoenix, AZ
Home, auto, boat, RV, and classic car coverage built for households with more to protect than a standard policy anticipates.
What Arizona Law Requires
Auto Liability
Arizona requires drivers to carry at least 25/50/15: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $15,000 property damage.
Homeowners Insurance
Not required by state law, but virtually every mortgage lender requires it as a condition of the loan.
Umbrella Liability
Falls entirely outside any state-mandated minimum: a voluntary layer of protection, not a legal requirement.
What We Recommend Beyond the Minimums
Higher Auto Liability Limits
The state minimum is far below what a serious accident can cost; most households carry $250,000/$500,000 or more.
Homeowners / Dwelling Coverage
Insured to full rebuild cost, not market value: rebuild costs have risen sharply in Arizona.
Personal Umbrella Liability
Standard policies cap out around $500,000 in liability; umbrella adds $1M–$5M+ above that.
Scheduled Valuables
Jewelry, art, and wine collections typically need to be individually scheduled: standard policies cap these categories low.
Boat, RV & Classic Car Coverage
Agreed-value coverage for collector and specialty vehicles that standard auto policies undervalue at claim time.
Flood Insurance
Standard homeowners policies exclude flood damage entirely: monsoon-season flash flooding is a real Phoenix-area exposure.
What Makes Personal Insurance Different
Arizona's predominant home risk is wildfire and monsoon flooding
Standard policies handle wind and hail but exclude flood damage.
Underinsurance on rebuild cost is common
Replacement cost estimates need to be updated regularly as construction costs rise.
Liability exposure is asset-driven
The more a household owns, the more a plaintiff's attorney can pursue: umbrella should be sized to net worth.
Collector and specialty vehicles need agreed-value policies
Standard auto coverage undervalues them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is homeowners insurance required by law in Arizona?
No, but any mortgage lender will require it as a condition of the loan, which is why most homeowners carry it.
How much umbrella coverage do I actually need?
It depends on your net worth and lawsuit exposure. Standard auto/home policies cap around $500,000; umbrella adds $1M or more above that.
Does my homeowners policy cover flood damage from monsoon storms?
No, standard policies exclude flood damage entirely, including flash flooding. That requires a separate policy.
What's the Arizona state minimum for auto insurance, and why isn't it enough?
Currently 25/50/15. A single serious accident can easily exceed those limits, which is why most households carry significantly higher limits.
Can you insure my classic car or RV at agreed value instead of actual cash value?
Yes, we place these on an agreed-value basis, so you and the carrier agree on value upfront, with no depreciation argument at claim time.
