How to Renew if Bike Insurance is Expired?

Bike owners can get two types of insurance – comprehensive bike insurance or third-party bike insurance. Comprehensive insurance protects the vehicle, the vehicle owner and the third party involved, whereas third party bike insurance only secures the third party. Not having or renewing vehicle insurance is an offence in India and brings about several consequences, so it is crucial to renew your bike insurance policy before its expiry date.

If you have bike insurance with Tata AIG Insurance, and it has recently expired, you can renew your policy within 90 days of its expiry. If 90 days have passed, give us a call, and we will assist you in taking it further.

What are the consequences of not renewing bike insurance?

When you have an existing bike insurance policy nearing its expiration date, it is vital to renew it before it ends. Failing to renew the policy can cause you to lose your insurance privileges, including: 1. Paying the cost of damages by yourself:

The most obvious consequence of not renewing bike insurance is paying for the costs of any damages caused to the vehicle or injury caused to a third party by yourself. Even if you are not using your bike, it is still prone to damages such as overheating, self-ignition, or theft.

  1. Attracting fines and penalties by the traffic police:

Riding your bike without having your bike insurance can attract fines up to ₹2,000 if you get caught by the traffic police. You can also face imprisonment for up to three months as per the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Moreover, any penalties attracted are retained in your bike insurance history.

  1. Losing the insurance privileges from the insurer:

The failure to renew your bike insurance policy even after the 90-day grace period leads to automatic forfeiture of the insurance privileges afforded to you under the policy. Apart from not being insured, you lose benefits like the no-claim bonus and premium discounts.

  1. Buying a new policy altogether:

If you fail to renew your expired bike insurance after 90 days, you have to buy a new insurance policy altogether, restart the registration process from scratch and spend more time and money.
