OPINION

SHORT, Judge.

Altra Auto Rental, Inc., a division of Agency Rent-A-Car, Inc. (Altra), appeals the trial court's determination that Altra's self-insurance plan provides primary liability coverage in this action up to the full amount of its self-insured retention, $500,000. Altra argues that it should provide primary liability coverage only in the amount mandated by statute, $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident. We agree and reverse.
