Colorado requires liability coverage with minimum limits of 25/50/15: $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 total per accident for bodily injury, and $15,000 for property damage. However, these minimums are often insufficient for serious accidents, and most experts recommend higher limits like 100/300/50 for better financial protection.
Colorado ranks among the top five most expensive states for homeowners insurance due to wildfire risks, extreme weather events like hail, and rising construction costs.

Even areas not in high-risk wildfire zones are seeing rate increases as insurers adjust their risk models.

Yes, standard auto insurance doesn't cover RVs, ATVs, motorcycles, or boats. Each requires specialized coverage. RV insurance covers the vehicle, your belongings inside, and liability when parked. ATV insurance protects you from liability if you cause injury or property damage while riding on public or private land. Most local Montrose agents can bundle these policies with your auto and home insurance for discounts.
Montrose has the lowest average auto insurance rates in Colorado, with premiums averaging around $1,071 per year. This is significantly lower than statewide averages. Your actual rate will depend on your driving record, age, vehicle type, coverage limits, and deductibles. It's worth getting quotes from multiple carriers to find the best rate for your situation.
Umbrella insurance provides additional liability coverage beyond your auto and home policy limits, typically starting at $1 million in coverage for a few hundred dollars per year. It protects your assets if you're sued and damages exceed your primary policy limits. If you own a home, have significant savings, or engage in activities that increase liability risk—like hosting Airbnb guests or owning recreational vehicles—umbrella coverage is a smart, affordable safeguard.
