A third-party bike insurance policy, at the very least, is mandatory in India under the prevailing rules of the Motor Vehicle Act. Riding your two-wheeler without insurance for 2-wheelers can expose you to unnecessary fines and punishment. But two-wheeler insurance is not just to avoid paying penalties in the eyes of the law. It is to also protect your body, your bike, and fellow riders from the consequences of any accident, theft, or damage.

You can purchase insurance for 2-wheelers from Tata AIG to get the much-needed financial support in the aftermath of accidents. Remember, getting a third-party bike insurance policy will not cover damages caused to your motorcycle. For that, you will need comprehensive insurance for 2-wheelers or a standalone own damage cover. Also, do not forget to compare two-wheeler insurance on Tata AIG’s website to find the bike insurance policy appropriate for you.
