In the second quarter of 2026, commercial auto premiums rose 4.5% and umbrella premiums rose 5.3%, according to the Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers (CIAB) Q2 2026 survey. Umbrella has now risen 35 quarters in a row.
The same survey has a twist. Overall commercial premiums fell 2% in the quarter, CIAB reports. Property pricing fell. The lines that kept climbing were auto and umbrella, the two a propane company leans on hardest, because the truck is the exposure.
