Finance Quick Answers
What is a rider to an insurance policy?
A rider is simply a separate document that has special
provisions not included in the main policy it is
attached to. If you have special property not covered
under your homeowners policy, like a valuable jewelry
collection for example, you can purchase a rider to the
main policy to cover the special property.
