Rider A provision in an insurance policy allowing for amendments to its terms and/or coverage. Investopedia Says: Riders are not necessarily found in all polices and because all riders provide some kind of benefit to the policy owner, an extra premium may be charged for them. An example of a rider being used is when a policy owner seeks temporary coverage during a public event.
