two wheeler insurance policy. When someone buys a two wheeler, generally it has been observed that his/her dealer takes care of fulfilling all the formalities with respect to vehicle registration and its insurance. Nevertheless, as a responsible two-wheeler owner, it is your duty to know about the types of motor insurance policies available in the market and their benefits and features.
From a broader perspective, two wheeler insurance can be categorized into two types - comprehensive, and
third-party bike liability.
If you
buy two wheeler insurance, which is comprehensive, then it would cover your vehicle against theft, loss and damage. In addition, a comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy would provide financial assistance to the owner/rider of the vehicle in event of an loss/damage arising due to unforeseen event like accident. This type of policy also covers the insured against third-party liability.
