Contract Holder

Categories: Insurance, Metrics

You take out an insurance policy on your car. As the policyholder, you are also considered a "contract holder."

This isn't a term for a place where you put your contract, like a holster. A contract holder is a person who will receive the associated benefits of the contract...for example, the payment of a lump sum of insurance if a pack of wild hooligans damages your car.
