Why Is Bike Insurance Necessary?
There are a range of situations where your bike insurance policy can protect your bike and you from avoidable expenses. In accordance with the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, it is compulsory for every bike owner in India to have at least a third-party bike insurance policy. But apart from that, a two-wheeler insurance policy can be beneficial in different situations -
Protection from legal fines
It is illegal to ride your bike without a valid third-party two-wheeler insurance policy. You could attract hefty legal and traffic fines for not carrying a bike insurance policy along. Even within the city limits, it is advisable to always keep your two wheeler insurance policy with you to avoid the hassle of getting into trouble with the law.
Protection against third-party liability
A third-party bike insurance policy provides financial protection should your bike cause damage to a 3rd party property/vehicle or injury to a third-party person. As per the Motor Vehicle Act 1988, it is mandatory to have a third-party liability cover to ride your bike on the road. In case of not holding an active third-party two wheeler insurance policy can attract serious penalties and heavy fines.
Financial coverage against theft
While the theft of or severe damage to your vehicle could be an emotionally disturbing event, the financial implication of the act is even more grievous, considering the cost of a two-wheeler. With a two wheeler insurance policy, the cost of replacing your vehicle or repairing the damage caused by it can be covered without you spending heavily out of your own pocket, thus reducing your mental and financial stress.
Cover against natural and man-made disasters
In the event of a natural disaster in your area, the financial plan of your two-wheeler insurance policy will cover your bike against damages caused by floods, lightning, cyclones, storms and other natural phenomena. Similarly, the bike insurance plan also protects your two-wheeler against damages caused by man-made acts of violence such as terrorism and vandalism.
Personal accident cover
While riding your bike, if an unfortunate road accident leaves you with major or minor injuries, your two wheeler insurance can cover all kinds of personal injuries you may have suffered. While the injury itself can be a cause of mental grief, the financial protection offered by the personal accident cover can considerably mitigate the inconvenience!
Types Of Two Wheeler Insurance By TATA AIG
Tata AIG offers different types of two-wheeler insurance policies that cater to your bike’s needs and the type of coverage needed to protect it under various situations:
Comprehensive Bike Insurance Policy
Comprehensive Bike Insurance Policy
Our comprehensive bike insurance policy has been designed to offer protection against third-party liabilities, coverage for damages or loss caused by theft and natural as well as man-made disasters and a personal accident cover for the owner-driver. However, the policy does not offer damages if the bike owner rides the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or is outside the pre-defined geographical area. We recommend a Tata AIG comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy to ensure complete protection for your bike.
Standalone Own Damage Bike Insurance Policy
Standalone Own Damage Bike Insurance Policy
Our Standalone Own Damage Bike Insurance Policy is beneficial in cases where an unfortunate accident can leave your bike damaged. While the Own Damage cover cannot handle third-party liabilities, your bike can receive financial protection against damages to the bike caused by natural and man-made disasters and fire. This two wheeler policy also offers reimbursement in case of theft of the bike.
Standalone Third-Party Bike Insurance Policy
Standalone Third-Party Bike Insurance Policy
Third-party Two Wheeler Insurance is a legal necessity if you want to take your bike out on the roads. Our standalone third-party two-wheeler insurance policy will help you if, in the event of an accident, your vehicle ends up causing damage to a third-party vehicle or injuries to a third-party person. However, your bike cannot receive the same protection under this policy. Damages to the bike and theft of the bike are not covered under a third party policy.
Third-party vs Comprehensive Bike Insurance
Motor insurance companies in India offer two-wheeler insurance online in two popular variants - comprehensive bike insurance and third-party bike insurance. Let us look at the differencebetween comprehensive and 3rd party bike insurance:
| Comprehensive | Third Party | |
|---|---|---|
What does it mean? | An all-round two wheeler insurance cover that protects you, your vehicle and a third party person/property from the financial damages caused. | Basic two wheeler insurance coverage that covers the legal and financial liabilities arising from the third-party damages. |
Extent of coverage | Covers the damages caused to your bike, theft of your bike, third-party liabilities and a personal accident cover for the owner-driver. | Covers the third-party liabilities arising from damages to a third party, damages to third-party property or death of a third party caused by your vehicle. |
Is it a legal mandate? | Not a mandatory requirement under the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 | Is mandated under the Act |
How much does it cost? | Due to the wide coverage of this type of insurance is more expensive than third party two wheeler insurance | Third party insurance is cheaper than comprehensive two wheeler insurance, due to targeted coverage |
What is excluded from the coverage? | Does not cover deliberate damage, damage caused by driving under the influence of drugs/intoxicants, damage caused by illegal racing, etc. | Does not cover own damage to the vehicle or injuries to the owner-driver |
Can you include add-ons? | Coverage can be enhanced with two wheeler insurance add-ons | Add-ons not available |
What Is Covered In Our Two Wheeler Insurance Policy?
Our two-wheeler insurance policy covers a range of circumstances, such as:
Damages and Loss to the Bike
Your comprehensive bike insurance policy offers an own damage cover which will cover the damage and loss caused to your bike due to:
- Natural calamities such as floods, cyclones, earthquakes, snowfall, etc.
- Man-made damages from terrorist attacks, riots, strikes, other malicious activities, etc.
- Damages by fire caused by self-ignition, lightning, explosions, etc.
- Damages caused by accidents and in transit by air, waterways, railways, roadways, etc.
Theft of the Bike
A comprehensive two-wheeler insurance policy will reimburse the current market value of the bike if it is stolen or in case of the ‘total damage’ of the bike (damaged beyond repair).
Third-Party Liability
Third-party bike insurance, as well as comprehensive bike insurance, cover 3rd party liabilities. Any damages caused to third-party property, death of a third party or bodily damages caused to a third party by your vehicle are covered.
Personal Accident Cover for the Owner-Driver
Tata AIG comprehensive bike insurance policy offers a Personal Accident Cover of ₹15 lakhs to the owner-driver. Under this cover, any medical expenses arising from the injuries caused in an accident are reimbursed. Additionally, the appointed beneficiary will get the amount if the owner-driver passes away due to the accident.
Specific Coverage Under the Add-ons
Tata AIG comprehensive two wheeler insurance offers a choice of 8 unique add-ons that further enhance the insurance cover and offer protection under specified circumstances. Such as a Personal Accident Cover to any unnamed person driving or riding the bike. Or a Consumables Cover, which will reimburse the expenses of repairing or replacing certain components of the vehicle, such as oil, grease, lubricant, screws, nuts/bolts, washers, bearings, and so on. Or even a Depreciation Cover that will protect you from the reduced value of the parts and components and ensure the claim payout does not account for the depreciation in the costs.
What Is Not Covered In Our Two Wheeler Insurance Policy?
There are a few things that we’re unable to help with. Here’s a look at some general exclusions under our car insurance:
Two Wheeler Insurance Add-on Covers
Enhance your Tata AIG comprehensive two wheeler insurance by choosing from a list of 8 unique bike insurance add-on covers:
Depreciation Allowance
This add-on, popularly known as Zero Depreciation or NIL Depreciation or Bumper-to-Bumper Cover, helps you beat depreciation. If you file a claim for the replacement/repair of your bike’s parts and depreciation is deducted from the claim amount, we will reimburse the depreciation with this add-on. However, note that you can avail of this benefit only under the first two claims.
Return-to-Invoice Cover
This add-on helps you get the invoice cost of your vehicle as reimbursement in case of theft or total damage. In case of total damage, constructive total damage or theft of the bike, you get the current market value, i.e., the Insured Declared Valuee (IDV) of the bike. With this add-on, we will pay you the purchase cost of the bike, which is the on-road price of the bike (inclusive of road taxes and registration).
Emergency Medical Expenses
Get reimbursement of emergency medical expenses and ambulance costs for the damages caused in an accident. If an accident leaves you or the pillion rider injured, this add-on will help you avail of reimbursement for the medical expenses incurred in the medical treatment at any hospital or nursing home. It also includes the cost of moving you/pillion rider to the hospital.
Additional Personal Accident Cover for the Owner-Driver
This add-on is an additional Personal Accident Cover to safeguard you and your family in case of serious injuries or fatality caused by an accident. We recognise the additional risk of accidents involved when riding a bike. With this add-on, we will pay a predetermined amount to your family in case an accident proves to be fatal. The amount provided under this add-on will be over and above the standard vehicle insurance sum assured.
Additional Third-Party Property Damage Cover
Get additional 3rd party cover reimbursement with this add-on. Third-party liabilities are already included in both comprehensive and third-party two wheeler insurance cover. However, you can buy this add-on if you wish to avail of an additional cover for the 3rd party liabilities.
Consumables Expenses
If an accident damages or leads to the loss of certain bike consumables, we will reimburse the costs of replacing/replenishing/repairing them with this add-on. The covered consumables include screw, nuts/bolts, washers, bearings, clip, engine oil, gearbox oil, brake oil, grease, lubricants, distilled water and such other consumables, excluding fuel.
Roadside Assistance
There is nothing worse than an amazing bike ride marred by the breakdown of the vehicle in the middle of the road. Don’t worry; roadside assistance is on the way! With this add-on, we will send immediate breakdown assistance to your location to take care of a variety of issues such as flat tyre, dead battery, fuel requirement, mechanical/electrical repairs, etc. We also offer on-the-spot repairs under certain circumstances so that you are up and zooming through your journey in no time!

Why Choose Two Wheeler Insurance?
These days, two-wheeler insurance policies are packed with features to provide complete protection not just to your bike but also to you, the pillion rider and third-party individuals and vehicles. Here are the top features of two wheeler insurance online:
Comprehensive & Liability only coverage
You can choose between a third-party (liability-only) or a comprehensive bike insurance policy. While the former covers only third-party damages, the latter offers more extensive coverage. As per the Motor Vehicle Act in India, every bike owner must have at least a third-party or liability cover. In contrast, a comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy also covers damages to the policyholder’s vehicle, along with a personal accident cover for the owner-driver and a basic third-party cover.
Personal accident cover
If you have a bike insurance policy, you can be covered under the inbuilt and mandatory personal accident cover of ₹15 lakhs, according to the IRDAI.
Optional Coverages
Optional coverage or an add-on cover cost an extra premium but help provide additional cover to your bike over your comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy. You can choose from our various unique add-ons like Return to Invoice, Depreciation Reimbursement, Key Replacement, Engine Secure and more.
Easy transfer of NCB (No Claim Bonus)
If you purchase a new two-wheeler,, the NCB or No Claim Bonus discount from your policy can be transferred since this discount is given to the policyholder for being a safe rider and not to the vehicle.
Quick Online Process
Insurance providers enable policy buyers to purchase or renew their two-wheeler insurance policy online through their website or through mobile applications. Not only does this make the purchasing and renewal process smoother, but it also helps the customer access all the information as well as policy documents, through a single channel.
Discounts on Premium
By purchasing or renewing an online two-wheeler insurance policy, one can avail of different discounts on their insurance premiums. Apart from the No Claim Bonus that offers annual discounts on the insurance premium for every claim-free year, there are other discounts offered online during the purchase or renewal of your two wheeler policy. This is because an online bike insurance policy purchase helps the insurers avoid overhead costs and also save on the use of paper.
Factors Affecting Bike Insurance Premium
Your two wheeler insurance premium is determined and will also be affected on the basis of several factors. Broadly, it is the amount of risk carried by a bike that determines its premium amount. Some of the other factors that affect your vehicle insurance premium are:
Coverage and Type of Insurance Policy
Choosing the type of cover or two wheeler insurance policy is the main factor that determines your two-wheeler insurance premium amount. If you opt for a basic third-party insurance cover, the premium will be quite nominal as the coverage of these policies is not extensive. On the other hand, a comprehensive bike insurance policy will have higher premiums because of its extent of coverage. The premium of comprehensive car insurance policy can further increase if you choose to cover own damage, third party liabilities, personal accident or enhance it with our other add-on covers.
Age of the two-wheeler
The bike’s age and its market value are inversely related which affects the IDV or Insured Declared Value of the bike. The IDV is the approximate market value of the bike and also the amount for which the bike is insured. Since the IDV is the sum insured of the bike, it impacts the premium amount. Therefore, as the bike ages, its market value goes down, the IDV decreases, and so does the premium.
Make and model of the bike
A basic bike model will be less expensive as compared to a designer or sports bike. Again, the market value and IDV of an expensive bike will be higher, which will result in higher premiums and in the case of a more affordable bike, the premiums will be lower.
NCB or No Claim Bonus
The No Claim Bonus is a discount on premiums offered to policyholders by insurers for safe driving and not filing claims during the previous policy year. The discount is applied to the policyholder’s vehicle insurance premium when they renew their comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy. The discount starts at 20% and goes up to 50%.
Geographical location
The place or locality where insured two-wheeler plies play a role in determining the premium amount. In low-risk or low traffic zones like small towns and villages, there is less chance of accidental damage to the bike, which brings down the two-wheeler insurance premium. Likewise, the policyholder will have to pay higher premiums if the insured bike is being used in a city amidst heavy traffic conditions.
Age of the Insured & Driver Record
The age of the insured can determine their bike insurance premiums. Young riders carry a higher risk as they are initially new to bike-riding and traffic rules, whereas older riders are considered to be more seasoned and experienced on the road. Hence, a younger bike rider is likely to pay a higher two wheeler insurance premium than an older person. Also, if a driver has a bad driving record, they tend to pay higher premiums than safe drivers.
Engine type/Cubic capacity
When purchasing a third party bike insurance policy, the premium is mainly calculated on the basis of the bike’s cubic capacity. Hence, if the cubic capacity (cc) of your bike is high, then the premiums will also be high.
Safety devices
If a bike is fitted with a safety device such as a burglar alarm, then the insurance provider offers a lower premium since the bike is safe from theft and hence, carries less risk than a bike without a safety alarm.
Add on covers
An add-on cover can be included in your comprehensive bike insurance policy for an extra cost. While these add-ons are useful for specific situations not covered by your base policy, they add to the cost of your insurance policy and hence, affect the premium amount.
Modifications of the bike
A modified bike is more expensive than an unmodified one because it has specialised additions to make the bike more attractive. An embellished two-wheeler is more likely to be robbed than a simple bike, and therefore, their premium is higher since they carry more risk.

One of the key factors that direct the choice of a bike insurance policy is the premium you need to shell out for it. And now that you know the factors affecting the premium let us look at how you can calculate your premium with a bike insurance premium calculator.

How To Reduce Bike Insurance Premium?
What if we told you there is a way to reduce your bike insurance premium without affecting the policy coverage? You heard that right! Here are a few proven ways to save on your two-wheeler insurance premium:
1
Keep the No Claim Bonus Intact by Avoiding Small Claims
The No Claim Bonus (NCB) is a percentage discount you get on the renewal premium if you do not file a claim during a policy term. If the value of the claim is lower than the total NCB discount, then avoid filing the small claim and avail discounts up to 50% on your renewal premium for five consecutive claim-free years
2
Do not Forget to Claim Your Accumulated NCB
As mentioned above, NCB is a discount on the renewal premium. So make sure that you apply the applicable discount when you are renewing the two wheeler insurance policy.
3
Choose a Higher Voluntary Deductible
The deductible is the proportion of the claim that you will bear out of your own pockets. If you select a higher voluntary deductible, the insurance company’s liability to pay goes down, and you get a lower bike insurance premium.
4
Install Authorised Safety Devices
Installation of safety devices authorised by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), from a basic handle lock to CCTV cameras in the parking garage, will reduce the chances of theft of the vehicle. This, in turn, reduces the risk component associated and brings down the two wheeler premium cost.
5
Become a Member of Authorised Riding/Automobile Groups in India
The IRDAI has identified a few riding groups, such as the Indian Automobile Association, wherein you can get a membership and avail of a lower two wheeler insurance premium.
6
Be Aware of Your Bike’s Age and Engine Cubic Capacity
The bike insurance premium is directly affected by the age of the bike and its cubic capacity. The older the bike, the lower the premium. Similarly, the higher the cubic capacity, the higher the premium. So make sure you mention the correct age and engine cc to avail of lower premiums.
7
Calculate the Two-Wheeler Premium Before Buying
A two-wheeler premium calculator will help you determine the exact premium you need to pay for your policy. You can make tweaks to the policy, such as changing the add-ons, etc. and buy a policy within your budget.
8
Avoid too many Modifications and Embellishments to Your Bike
Extreme modifications to the bike increase its Insured Declared Value (IDV) or the market price, which, in turn, shoots up the premium.

What Is NCB In Bike Insurance?
The No Claim Bonus is a discount on premium offered by vehicle insurance companies to policyholders who have completed the previous policy year without filing a claim. The discount that is offered on the Own Damage premium during the policy renewal starts at 20% after the first claim-free year and then increases with every claim-free year if the vehicle owner continues safe driving and avoids filing claims.
The highest discount one can avail of is 50%, and after the 5th claim-free year, the discount on premium remains at 50% until the policyholder chooses to file a claim. If a claim is filed after accumulating a No Claim Bonus discount, then the discount percentage goes back to zero.
The No Claim Bonus discount is given to the policyholder and not the bike. Hence, if the policyholder chooses to buy a new bike, the No Claim Bonus discount can be transferred to the new two-wheeler insurance policy. If you purchase a new bike, you can transfer your bike insurance to your new vehicle and retain the NCB discount.
What Is IDV In Bike Insurance?
The IDV or the Insured Declared Value is the current market value of your bike, which includes the charge of the bike’s depreciation and helps you calculate the premium of your two-wheeler insurance policy.
The IDV being the sum insured of your bike is an important component of your two-wheeler insurance because it also determines the amount of compensation you can receive in the event of “total loss” - complete damage or theft - of your bike.
The policyholder can choose the IDV amount while purchasing bike insurance. However, we would advise choosing a suitable IDV as per your coverage since a low IDV would mean insufficient coverage for your bike, and a higher IDV would call for expensive premiums. As your vehicle ages, the IDV goes down, and so will the premium.
What Is Zero Depreciation In Bike Insurance?
As your bike ages, the parts of the bike undergo depreciation caused by wear and tear. As a result, the value of the bike also depreciates. While filing a claim for damages to your bike, your insurer deducts the depreciation of the parts from the sum assured before settling the two wheeler insurance claim.
However, when you add the Zero Depreciation or Bumper-to-Bumper add-on cover from Tata AIG to your comprehensive bike insurance policy, you can receive the entire claim amount for damages caused to your bike without considering and deducting the depreciated value of your bike. Without this NIL depreciation add-on, you will receive the depreciated value of your bike, and the two-wheeler insurance might not suffice to cover the damages.
To ensure that you get the entire two-wheeler insurance amount, minus the depreciation deductions, after filing a claim, you can add a NIL depreciation cover to your comprehensive two-wheeler insurance policy.

Things To Know About Two Wheeler Insurance
Premium
The premium is the amount you pay towards your two-wheeler insurance policy to get financial coverage for your vehicle for a defined duration of the policy.
Coverage
The coverage is the maximum financial liability the two wheeler insurance company pays to the policyholder if the latter files a claim for damages to their bike.
Insured Declared Value (IDV)
The IDV or Insured Declared Value is the approximate market value of the bike that is also the sum insured in the bike’s insurance policy. In case of the bike’s total loss, the policyholder receives the IDV from the insurance provider on filing a claim.
No Claim Bonus (NCB)
The No Claim Bonus is a discount on premium offered to a policyholder by their insurance provider for safe driving and for not filing any claims during the policy year.
Zero Depreciation Cover
A Zero Depreciation or NIL Depreciation cover is an add-on one can include in their comprehensive bike insurance policy so that the insurance provider does not deduct depreciation on the bike’s parts while settling a claim for damages.
Own Damage Cover
Own Damage provides coverage against damage caused to the insured bike due to fire, accidents, theft, etc. The Own Damage cover provides financial compensation for the loss or repair of your bike or bike parts. But it does not cover third-party liabilities.
Personal Accident Insurance
A personal accident insurance or PA cover in bike insurance provides compensation for bodily injuries caused to the owner or owner-driver of the insured vehicle.
Voluntary Deductible
The voluntary deductible is the proportion of the claim that will be paid by the policyholder from their own pocket. The amount is determined at the time of the policy purchase. The higher the deductible, the lower will be the premium. But remember higher deductible also means you will have to shell out a higher percentage of the claim yourself. So choose wisely.
Consumables
In two wheeler insurance, consumables are parts or components of the bike that cannot be reused once they are used or consumed. These can be lubricants, brake oil, fuel filter and so on.
Cashless Claims
Cashless claims are made when the insured bike is damaged and is repaired at a network garage of the insurance provider. Then the cost of the repair is paid directly by the insurer to the garage from the insurance policy, and the policyholder doesn’t have to pay anything.

Is third-party bike insurance enough?

The damages caused to your bike and the medical expenses arising from your injuries will not be covered. Moreover, you won’t get any reimbursement if your bike suffers total damage or is stolen.

Can my NCB be transferred?
Yes! NCB is a reward given by the insurance company to the owner-driver for following safe driving practices and not filing a single claim during a policy year. Thus, when you replace your vehicle with a new one, the NCB stays with you, and you can transfer it to your new vehicle insurance policy.
Can I purchase any number of add-ons?
YES! You can purchase as many add-ons as you deem necessary for your bike insurance coverage. But, keep an eye on the premium, as add-ons are priced separately and increase the total bike insurance premium cost.

Is it ok not to make a claim if the damage is minimal?
Yes! If the claim amount is smaller than the expected No Claim Bonus (NCB) discount at the time of policy renewal, then it is advisable to pay for the repairs by yourself and avoid filing a claim. This is because if you file a claim, the accumulated NCB will reset to zero, and you will lose out on the renewal discount.
How long does it take for a claim to be settled?
Once you have successfully filed the bike insurance claim, it takes between 7 to 30 days to get the claim settled. You can track your Tata AIG bike insurance claim here.
