Two-wheeler insurance is a contract of financial indemnity essential for every bike owner. Its mandatory nature stems from the Motor Vehicles Act, which requires every vehicle to have a Third-Party plan to safeguard public interest. Beyond this legal requirement, a Comprehensive policy protects your finances from unexpected losses. For instance, an accident can lead to costly repairs, or theft can mean a complete loss of the asset. Our policy is designed to offer protection from various risks, including fire, man-made disasters, and natural disasters like floods. When you buy bike insurance online with us, you secure protection against high costs, ensuring your savings are preserved.
A good bike insurance policy is built on a foundation of reliable features designed for maximum coverage and convenience:
Access to a wide network of authorised garages for cashless repairs, ensuring zero upfront payment (excluding deductibles) for covered damages.
A valuable discount (up to 50%) on your premium at bike insurance renewal if you make no claims during the previous year.
Personal Accident Cover is a mandatory cover providing financial support to the owner-driver in case of accidental injury, disability, or death.
Add Ons is an option to purchase 10+ covers, such as Engine Protect and Zero Depreciation, to significantly enhance your policy’s protection.
Provides financial compensation equivalent to the bike's IDV (Insured Declared Value) if your two-wheeler is stolen and not recovered.
Enables simple, immediate online bike insurance renewal, ensuring continuous coverage with zero paperwork.
Access to round-the-clock claim and emergency assistance support from the insurer, simplifying the process when you need it most.
The ability to choose the Insured Declared Value (IDV), which determines the maximum claim payout for total loss.
When you buy bike insurance online, selecting the right policy type is crucial. We offer four primary types of two-wheeler insurance plans, giving you the flexibility to choose the best coverage based on your bike's age, usage, and financial risk appetite.
| Policy Type | What it covers | Ideal For | Premium range | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Legal liability for damage, injury, or death caused to a third person or property by your bike. | Older bikes (5+ years old) or minimal-use vehicles; legally mandatory cover. | Lowest | Legally compliant; the most affordable way to get insurance. | Does not cover any damage to your own bike or personal injuries. | |
Damage or loss to your own car from accidents, theft, fire, or natural calamities | Used only in conjunction with a mandatory Third-Party cover. | Moderate | Covers accidental damage to your bike; eligible for valuable NCB benefits. | Does not cover third-party liabilities; requires a separate TP policy. | |
Combines Third-Party liability with Own Damage cover for all-around protection. | New bikes or high-value models; owners seeking complete | Highest | Complete protection (OD + TP) allows for the purchase of critical add-ons. | Higher premium compared to the other two options. | |
Long-term 2-3 year policies | Full Comprehensive or TP coverage for a longer tenure (2 or 3 years). | All bike owners who want hassle-free, discounted coverage and to lock in rates. | Economical (Long-Term) | Discounted premium, protects against annual premium hikes; hassle-free bike insurance renewal. | The entire premium for the full tenure must be paid up front. |
Bundled TP + OD Policies | A plan mandated for new bikes (5-year TP + 1-year OD) at the time of purchase. | New two-wheeler purchases (less than 1 year old). | Variable | Ensures long-term legal compliance and immediate damage protection. | Cannot be customized or renewed partially until the TP tenure ends. |

Step-by-Step Claim Filing Process:
Understanding the core terminology of your two-wheeler insurance policy is essential for navigating the purchase, renewal, and claim process smoothly.
IDV (Insured Declared Value: The current market value of your two-wheeler, representing the maximum sum the insurer will pay in case of total loss or theft.
NCB (No Claim Bonus): A reward, up to 50% discount, offered on your renewal premium for making zero claims during the preceding policy year.
Premium: The fixed amount you pay to the insurer to maintain active bike insurance coverage for a specific period.
Deductible: The compulsory fixed amount that you, the policyholder, must pay out of pocket before the insurer covers the remainder of the claim amount.
Zero Depreciation (Zero-Dep): An add-on that waives the deduction for the normal depreciation of parts (fibre, plastic, metal) during a claim.
Third-party Liability: The mandatory cover that pays for legal and financial costs resulting from damage or injury caused to a third person by your bike.
Personal Accident (PA) Cover: Mandatory financial compensation provided to the owner-driver in case of accidental injury, disability, or death while riding.
Total Loss: A scenario where the cost of repairs exceeds 75% of the vehicle’s IDV, leading the insurer to declare the bike non-repairable and pay the full IDV.
Salvage: The remaining value of a totally damaged bike, which the insurer may take possession of after paying out the total loss claim.
Depreciation: The natural decrease in the monetary value of the bike and its parts over time due to wear and tear.
Endorsement: A document that records any legal change or modification made to the existing policy document after its initial issuance.
Rider: An additional benefit, synonymous with an add-on, that can be purchased to enhance the base policy's financial coverage.
Roadside Assistance (RSA): An add-on offering 24x7 services like emergency towing, flat tyre repair, and minor on-site mechanical repairs.
Consumables Cover: An add-on that covers the cost of consumables (engine oil, nuts, bolts, screws) used during the bike's repair after an accident.
Voluntary Deductible: An extra amount you willingly agree to pay during a claim to receive a discount on your annual premium.
Third-party covers damage or injury to others only. Own-Damage covers loss or damage to your specific bike only. Comprehensive bike insurance combines both covers, offering the most complete protection against fire, theft, natural calamities, and third-party liabilities in one plan.
The premium is calculated based on factors including the bike's Insured Declared Value (IDV), its make and model, the geographical location, and the bike's age. Any earned No Claim Bonus (NCB) discount and the choice of add-on covers also significantly impact the final premium amount.
IDV is the current market value of your bike and represents the maximum payout you will receive from the insurer in the event of theft or total loss. It is calculated by subtracting the depreciation value from the manufacturer’s selling price of the bike model.
NCB is a discount offered on the renewal premium for not filing any claims in the previous policy year. It starts at 20% and can accumulate up to 50%. You retain it by ensuring your bike insurance renewal is done on time and by choosing to avoid filing claims for very minor damages.
