Car insurance glossary
What is declarations page?
A declarations page is the policy summary that lists major details such as drivers, vehicles, coverages, limits, deductibles, dates, and premium.
Also called: insurance dec page
Glossary date: March 9, 2026
How it works
It is a useful snapshot, but it is not the entire contract. Policy forms and endorsements contain definitions, duties, conditions, and exclusions.
Example
You check the declarations page to confirm that a new car appears with collision coverage and a $500 deductible.
Why it matters
An incorrect driver, vehicle, address, or coverage selection can cause problems when you need the policy.
What to check on your policy
Review every declarations page at purchase and renewal. Contact the insurer quickly if any detail is wrong.
