Two Wheeler Insurance types you can choose
1) Third Party Liability Only
This plan meets the legal requirement and allows you to ride without fines. It covers injury or property damage you may cause to others. It does not cover damage to your own bike.
2) Comprehensive Policy
This plan includes Third Party and also protects your bike. You tune it with add-ons:
- Theft cover for complete loss from theft
- Fire and natural disaster cover
- Personal accident cover for the rider (and optional pillion, if offered)
Comprehensive suits new bikes, premium models, and riders who park in open lots or high-risk areas.
What Two Wheeler Insurance actually covers
- Liability to third parties: medical and property damage you cause
- Own-damage (Comprehensive): accidental damage to your bike
- Theft: insurer contributes per policy terms; you shoulder less of the financial hit
- Fire or natural calamity: storms, floods, and similar events
- Personal accident (add-on): emergency support for injuries
Coverage depends on the exact policy wording, so review limits and exclusions before you buy.
What drives your premium in 2025
Age of the vehicle
- Older bikes usually cost more to insure for own-damage due to higher breakdown and wear risks. New bikes often enjoy lower premiums and wider network support.
Age and experience of the rider
- New riders show higher risk; premiums trend up. Experienced riders with a clean record often see lower premiums.
Location
- Heavier traffic and theft risk in large cities raise premiums. Smaller towns and rural areas often price lower.
No Claim Bonus (NCB)
- Skip claims through the policy year and renew with an NCB—often about 20% rising to 30% over time. One claim can reset the bonus, so weigh small repairs against the long-term NCB benefit.
How to choose the right plan (quick framework)
- Start with Third Party for legal compliance.
- Add Comprehensive if your bike is new, high-value, or you park outdoors.
- Select add-ons that match your risk:
- High theft area-Theft cover
- Monsoon-prone zone-Natural disaster
- Daily highway commute-Personal accident
- Protect NCB by paying for minor fixes yourself when it makes sense.
- Compare exclusions as carefully as you compare the price.
Claim basics without headaches
- Report the incident quickly and follow the insurer’s instructions.
- For theft, file a police complaint and keep the FIR copy ready.
- Keep documents tidy: policy copy, ID, RC, photos of damage, workshop estimate.
- Use approved workshops when possible to avoid paperwork delays.
- Track updates and keep every receipt and message until settlement completes.
Budget moves that keep premiums in check
- Renew on time to avoid NCB loss.
- Choose deductibles wisely; higher deductibles can lower premiums if you ride safely.
- Ride clean; a steady year without claims grows your NCB.
- Park smart; well-lit or gated parking lowers theft risk.
- Maintain regularly; fewer breakdowns, fewer claims.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
