Named Insured
Insurance Glossary
The person or people listed by name on the declarations page as the policyholder, who hold the rights and obligations under the contract. Only a named insured can change coverage, cancel the policy or receive the claim payment, though others such as household residents may still be covered. Adding or removing a spouse, a driver or a co-owner changes who is named, and can change the price.
