coinsured

Sharing policy coverage

Coinsured describes a person or entity covered under an insurance policy alongside the primary policyholder.

A coinsured party shares the protection of the policy without being the main insured: The landlord required tenants to add them as coinsured on the renter's policy.

The term appears frequently in liability and property insurance contexts.
