Third-Party insurance only covers any damage to a third party, including death, bodily harm, injury and damage to a property in case of an accident or collision involving your bike.
Comprehensive bike insurance covers both third-party liabilities as well as own-damage to your bike. It covers both natural and man-made calamities. These plans also allow you to include add-ons for a wider coverage!
You can also include the zero depreciation cover to your comprehensive two-wheeler insurance policy. This will ensure that in case of an accident, you get complete reimbursement for part replacements without any deduction for depreciation. Great isn’t it?
Zero Depreciation Cover pays the entire claim amount without deducting depreciation value at the time of settling the claim.
This add-on keeps your No Claim Bonus safe even if you made a claim in the previous year.
If your vehicle is deemed a total loss, the add-on cover helps you get the original invoice price of the vehicle, including road tax and registration charges.
All two-wheeler insurance plans will have a standard set of exclusions that are not covered by the policy. Some of these exclusions are as follows:
Have you ever wondered why different people are charged different insurance premiums? Well, this is because, the price of your two-wheeler insurance policy is calculated keeping in mind several factors. Some of these factors include
Type of cover
One of the first things that affect the price of your bike insurance is the type of plan you opt for. Third-party plans are the most basic and so cost less but offer limited cover. In case of comprehensive insurance, your choice of add-ons will also influence the cost of the policy.
Cubic capacity of the bike
The cost of the third party component of your plan depends heavily on the cubic capacity of your bike. The higher the cubic capacity, the more premium you have to pay for third party insurance.
Cost of the bike
The higher the coverage amount (IDV) the higher the cost to insure it! In case of total loss, the insurance company has to provide the current marketing value of your bike (IDV), which is bound to on the higher side for a more expensive motorcycle.
Age
In case of a claim or total loss of your bike, the insurance company provides compensation based on the market value of your bike and its parts. So, when your bike is new, the insurance company is liable to higher payouts and therefore charges you a higher premium. However, as your bike gets older, its market value decreases and so does your insurance provider’s liability in case of a claim. Therefore, as your bike gets older, your insurance premiums also decrease.
Modification
Modifications refer to alterations made to your two-wheeler to improve its performance or appearance. However, these alterations often involve the addition of part or modification of the current parts. This can affect your insurance policy and cause your premiums to rise.
