RLI eXS Commercial Umbrella


FMS is proud to bring FAIA member agents the RLI eXS program. RLI has proven to be a trusted and valued partner when it comes to the Personal Umbrella Policy and @Home Business Policy programs. Now we’re pleased to bring you eXS!

Writing commercial umbrella coverage for your insureds has never been easier. All we need is an ACORD 125 (Commercial Insurance Application Applicant Information Section) and an ACORD 131 (Umbrella Section) completed and mailed, faxed, or emailed to us. We’ll get the quote done and turned around to your agency in record time. All we need to bind coverage is an email and the required additional information. Coverage is written with Mt. Hawley Insurance Company, rated A+ by A.M. Best and limits of up to $5 million are available.

Eligibility requirements—in order to qualify for this e-XS Program an applicant must:

  • Have 10 or less automotive power units new business or 12 or less for renewals and a radius of operations less than 100 miles; no Extra Heavy trucks, Tractor Trailers or Buses. No owned or non-owned delivery exposure.
  • Have annual sales/receipts no greater than $10,000,000 new business or $12,000,000 for renewals with the following additional requirements:

    • (2) Offices, retail/wholesale and other OL&T type risks must not exceed 50,000 square feet per building provided that buildings are separated by at least 25 feet of clear space per story of building height;
    • (3) General Contractors must not construct buildings exceeding three stories in height or more than 250,000 square feet in area and may not engage in new residential construction other than apartments (however residential service installation and renovation after the certificate of occupancy are generally acceptable);

  • Have an acceptable past loss history that does not have:

    • (2) $50,000 or more for any single loss.

Hazard Grade

The Hazard Grades used to determine eligibility, acceptability, and pricing are as follows:

Grade 1 Risks – Desirable:  Accounts in this category are desirable and may be written freely in accordance with this program.

Grade 2 Risks – Average:  Accounts in this category have greater inherent hazards than Grade 1 risks, but are also desirable.

Grade 3 Risks – Special:  These classes are acceptable, but require special handling, i.e. individual risk underwriting and pricing based on recognition of the conditions and hazards that may or may not exist for the individual risk being considered.  Usually supplemental data is required to properly underwrite the exposures for these risks.

Applicants that have exposures in an ISO classification rated as NQ in the Commercial Umbrella Hazard Index Guide or that do not otherwise meet the above Eligibility Requirements are not qualified for the e-XS Program.  Risks with a “P” Grade are not acceptable on any basis.
