What is Bike Insurance?

Bike insurance (two-wheeler insurance) covers 2 main risks: third-party liability (injury/property damage caused to others) and own-damage (accident, fire, flood, theft, vandalism, etc.). At minimum, in India third-party cover is mandatory by law to drive on public roads; going without it is an offence under the Motor Vehicles Act.

Insurance Policies

Comprehensive (Package) Policy

  • This policy combines both Third-Party and Own-Damage (OD) coverage.
  • It protects your bike against risks including accidents, fire, theft, and floods.
  • A Comprehensive policy offers the most complete financial protection for you and your vehicle (Bike or any two-wheeler).
  • You can choose to add useful riders such as Zero-Depreciation or Engine Protect.

Third Party Policy

  • This is the minimum cover that is legally mandatory to own.
  • It financially covers injury, death, or property damage that you cause to others.
  • The policy does not provide any coverage for damage or repair costs to your own bike.
  • It is required to ensure legal compliance while riding on public roads.

Standalone Own Damage (OD) Policy

  • This insurance covers the cost of repair or replacement for damage to your own bike.
  • It applies to losses from accidents, fire, theft, floods, and other disasters.
  • The policy specifically excludes all required Third-Party liability coverage.
  • It must be purchased alongside a separate, valid TP policy to meet legal requirements.

Important - Special Rule for New Bikes:

  • New two-wheelers must include a mandatory five years of Third-Party (TP) cover.
  • This requirement follows a directive from the Supreme Court and IRDAI.
  • The Own-Damage (OD) portion of the policy is usually valid for one year only.
  • Always check your insurance quote for the exact 5-year TP + 1-year OD breakdown.

Calculate Your Bike Insurance Premium Online

Enter your bike number to fetch details → compare IDV, add-ons, and discounts (like NCB). Your premium mainly depends on IDV, cubic capacity (cc), age/location, past claims/NCB, and chosen add-ons.

Factors

Factors Affecting YourTwo Wheeler Policy Premium

IDV (Insured Declared Value)

The IDV is the insurer’s current market value of your bike, which determines the Own-Damage (OD) premium and the maximum payout for total loss claims.

Engine CC

Policies for bikes with a higher engine cubic capacity (cc) typically have a higher Third-Party (TP) premium, as determined by regulatory rate slabs, and often a higher OD premium.

Age & Location

The age of the bike affects premium due to depreciation, while the geographical location influences pricing based on city-specific risks like traffic, theft, and floods.

NCB (No-Claim Bonus)

NCB is a discount, ranging from 20% to 50%, applied to your OD premium at renewal for every claim-free year; this benefit belongs to the policyholder, not the vehicle.

Bike's Insured Declared Value (IDV)

IDV is essentially the bike's current replacement value (manufacturer listed value minus depreciation by age brackets). It guides both the OD premium and the payout in total loss/constructive total loss. Beyond 5 years or for rare/obsolete models, it's often agreed IDV between you and the insurer.
