Stacking

Insurance Glossary

Combining uninsured or underinsured motorist limits across several vehicles, or across several policies, so one claim can draw on more than one limit. A policy covering two cars with stacking might make twice the coverage available after a crash with an uninsured driver. Whether stacking is allowed, whether an insurer may charge for it, and whether it can be waived in writing are all set by state law, and stacked coverage costs more than unstacked.
