How to choose the right Two-Wheeler Insurance policy

Choosing the right two-wheeler insurance policy is crucial for your financial security and peace of mind. Here are some key factors to consider:

Claim settlement ratio (CSR)

Choose insurers with a strong claim record.

Insured declared value (IDV)

Higher IDV = better coverage, higher premium.

Policy type

Third-Party (mandatory) vs Comprehensive (covers your bike too; recommended for new/expensive bikes).

Add-ons

Enhance your coverage with add-ons like zero depreciation and roadside assistance, which provide extra protection for your bike.

What is IDV in Bike Insurance?

IDV (Insured Declared Value) is your bike’s current market value - the maximum amount the insurer will pay in case of total loss or theft.

How it’s calculated:
  • IDV = Manufacturer’s price minus depreciation. 
  • Impact: Higher IDV = higher premium, but bigger claim payout. 
  • Note: Relevant for comprehensive policies, not basic third-party insurance. 

What is zero depreciation in Bike Insurance?

Zero depreciation is a popular add-on in a comprehensive bike insurance policy. It ensures that during a claim settlement, the insurer does not deduct any amount for the depreciation of your two wheeler's parts. This means you get the full cost of replacing damaged parts, which significantly reduces your out-of-pocket expenses.

Factors affecting Two-Wheeler Insurance premium

Here are the key factors that influence the premium you pay for your two-wheeler insurance policy:

No claim bonus (NCB) / Claims History

A higher NCB, earned by not making any claims, is a powerful factor that significantly reduces the insurance premium, rewarding safe riding..

Insured declared value (IDV)

A higher IDV, which is the current market value of your bike, results in a higher premium because the insurer's risk is greater.

Make and model of the bike

Performance bikes and more expensive models typically attract a higher bike insurance premium.

City of registration

Bikes registered in high-risk, metropolitan areas often have higher insurance premiums due to increased accident and theft statistics.

Type of policy

Comprehensive costs more than Third-Party.

Age and riding experience

These factors can also subtly influence the final premium amount.

Bike Insurance

  1. Leverage your No claim bonus (NCB): Avoid making small claims and ride safely to accumulate your NCB, which provides a substantial discount on your premium when you renew the policy.
  2. Review and adjust add-ons: Annually review your policy and remove unnecessary add-ons for your older bike to reduce costs.
  3. Install anti-theft devices: Installing approved anti-theft devices in your two-wheeler can earn you a discount on the “Own Damage” component of your premium.
  4. Renew on time: Ensure you renew your bike insurance promptly to avoid penalties and potential policy lapses.

Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, every bike must have at least third-party insurance. It ensures compensation for victims in case of injury, death, or property damage caused by your vehicle – promoting financial protection and road safety.

Downloading your bike insurance policy document is quick and easy. Follow these steps to ensure you always have a digital copy of your insurance handy:

Visit your insurer’s official website and log in using your mobile, email, or policy number.

Go to “My policies” or “Policy documents”.

Select your bike policy and download the PDF.

Check your email - insurers usually send an e-copy after purchase or renewal.

NCB, or No Claim Bonus, is a reward from your two-wheeler insurance company for safe driving. It is a discount on your bike insurance premium for every year you don't make a claim.

  • How it works: For a claim-free year, you earn a discount on your next policy renewal. This discount starts at 20% and can go up to 50% after five consecutive claim-free years.
  • Why it matters: It significantly reduces the cost of your bike insurance, rewarding your good riding habits.
  • Important to know: NCB applies only to the "Own Damage" portion of your premium, not the third-party liability part. If you make a claim, your accumulated NCB resets to zero.

Legal compliance: Riding without insurance is illegal and can lead to fines or imprisonment.

Financial protection: Covers accidents, theft, and natural calamities - avoiding out-of-pocket expenses.

Loss of No Claim Bonus (NCB): Renew within 90 days to keep your no claim bonus and save on premiums.
