What are the different types of two wheeler insurance coverage?
Two Wheeler Insurance coverage can be classified into two categories:-
|
THIRD PARTY LIABILITY |
COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE |
| Covers only third party liability | Covers damage to own vehicle apart from third party liability |
| Low premium | Relatively higher premium |
| Mandatory by law | Not Mandatory by Law |
| Covers damage only arising out of vehicular collision | Covers damages caused due to theft and natural calamities apart from vehicular collision |
What are Add-On covers?
When you are riding on the roads you are exposed to numerous risks. While a standard two wheeler insurance plan offers basic protection, you can enhance your two wheeler insurance protection by opting for add-on covers such as Nil Depreciation Cover and Personal Accident Cover.
What is NCB?
When you don't file a claim during your bike insurance policy period, you will be eligible for a discount on your next premiums. This discount is referred to as a No-Claim Bonus. The No-Claim Bonus discount will keep increasing progressively for each claim-free year until your bike insurance premium is reduced up to 50%.
What is IDV?
The IDV (Insured Declared Value) is the current market value of your vehicle which is calculated after deducting the depreciation amount. It is a crucial component of a two wheeler insurance policy as it determines the amount of compensation. In case of theft or total destruction of your bike or scooter, the IDV is offered as "Sum Insured".
What is Nil-Depreciation?
You may already know that the monetary value of your Two Wheeler reduces overtime. This eventuality is a result of asset depreciation. Nevertheless, with Reliance Two Wheeler Insurance policy, you can combat the losses of depreciation by taking up a Nil-depreciation add-on cover along with your bike insurance. With a zero depreciation cover, you can be assured that the entire claim amount will be paid to you without deducting the depreciation sum.

Claim NCB:- NCB is a cumulative bonus which is rewarded for every claim-free year. You can secure a discount of up to 50% for 5 consecutive claim-free years.
Choose Your Bike/Scooter CC Wisely:- The higher the engine cubic capacity (CC) of your Two Wheeler, the higher will be the two wheeler insurance premium. So, choose the exact variant of your two wheeler to get the exact premium for the insurance.
Know The Age of Your Two Wheeler:- Older bikes have a lower Insured Declared Value (IDV) due to the accrued depreciation over the years. Hence the premiums for older bikes are lower and vice versa.
Increase The Voluntary Deductible:- A Voluntary deductible is an amount that you agree to pay out of your pocket. The higher your voluntary deductible, the lesser will be your bike insurance premium.

Add-On to Your Protection with Add-On Covers
When you are riding on the roads you are exposed to numerous risks. While our standard Two Wheeler insurance plan offers basic protection, you can add more value to your two wheeler insurance protection with add-on covers. Our Add-On covers are designed to widen your two wheeler insurance cover to ensure all-round protection. You can choose from add-on covers such as: -
Nil Depreciation Cover -
You must already know that the value of your bike/scooter reduces over the years. Depreciation is the single most factor responsible for the reduction in value of your Two Wheeler overtime.

Opt for this and you will never have to bear the losses due to depreciation on all parts except the tyres and tubes.
Without the Nil Depreciation add-on cover, you will be charged a major deduction based on the age of your vehicle. Just pay a little extra and avoid the losses of depreciation and widen the scope of your Two Wheeler insurance cover by availing the Nil Depreciation Add-on Cover.
