Comprehensive Bike insurance vs Third-party Bike insurance

In order to determine whether you should opt for comprehensive or third party bike insurance for your two wheeler, it is important to compare the aforementioned policies. Here is a succinct comparison between comprehensive bike insurance and third party bike insurance. For an in-depth understanding, check our resource on compare bike insurance.

Parameters Comprehensive Bike Insurance Policy Third-party Bike Insurance Policy
Coverage The Tata AIG comprehensive bike insurance policy encompasses extensive coverage for your bike, including financial protection against third-party damages and injuries, an own-damage cover for your bike, and a personal accident cover for you. This policy financially safeguards your bike against theft, fire, and natural and man-made disasters. The Tata AIG third-party bike insurance policy provides financial protection against all third-party liabilities arising from an accident involving the insured bike, including damages to third-party property and injuries to or death of a third party. Our third-party bike insurance policy also covers the legal liabilities associated with the aforementioned third-party damages, injuries, and death.
Add-ons You can choose from 8 excellent add-on features and enhance the coverage of your bike by protecting it against specific damages. There is no option to include any add-ons in a third-party bike insurance policy since this policy covers only financial and legal third-party liabilities.
Cost The price of our comprehensive bike insurance is dependent on several factors, including, amongst others, the make, model, variant, fuel type, and age of the bike. Since our comprehensive bike insurance policy has a wider coverage as compared to our third-party bike insurance policy, the former is costlier than the latter. The price of our third-party bike insurance policy is decided by the engine cubic capacity of your bike and the bike insurance rates for the year declared by the Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority of India. The cost of our third-party bike insurance policy is lower than our comprehensive bike insurance policy since the coverage of the former is restricted to third-party liabilities.
Injury to a third party person Our comprehensive bike insurance policy provides legal as well as financial protection against the injuries sustained by a third party in an accident involving the insured bike. The aforementioned coverage also includes the death of a third-party person. The Tata AIG third-party bike insurance policy covers all third-party liabilities, including the damages to third-party property, injuries to a third-party person, and the legal and financial implications thereof.
Damage to a third party vehicle or property All third-party damages resulting from an accident involving the insured bike are covered under our comprehensive bike insurance policy. Our third-party bike insurance policy serves as a safety net against the financial and legal liabilities associated with the damage caused to a third-party vehicle or property by the insured bike.
Customisation of the bike value You can customise our comprehensive bike insurance policy in accordance with your insurance requirements. You can compare our bike insurance policies on our website, select the required add-ons, and get bike insurance quotes online. The Tata AIG third-party bike insurance policy cannot be customised. It is a standardised policy whose cost is determined on the basis of two main factors, namely: 1. The annual bike insurance rates declared by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India; 2. The engine cubic capacity of your bike.

Bike Insurance Policy Inclusions & Exclusions

Comprehensive Bike Insurance Add-ons

The Tata AIG comprehensive bike insurance policy offers you the choice to add excellent add-on features which have been discussed below.

  • Zero depreciation

By including the add-on feature of zero depreciation in your bike insurance policy, you can ensure that the depreciation accumulated on the components of your bike does not get deducted from the sum assured when you file your bike insurance claim. The aforementioned clause is applicable only on the first two bike insurance claims filed by you. You can include the zero depreciation add-on to the Tata AIG comprehensive bike insurance policy as well as the standalone OD bike insurance policy.

  • Return-to-Invoice Cover

The return-to-invoice comprehensive bike insurance add-on enables you to claim the invoice cost of your bike if it gets stolen or entirely damaged. In the event of theft or a constructive total loss of the bike, you are entitled to receive the ‘Insured Declared Value’ of the bike. With the aforementioned add-on, Tata AIG promises to pay you the purchase price of your bike, including the road tax and the registration charges, under the circumstances mentioned above.

  • Emergency Medical Expenses

If you include the emergency medical expenses add-on in your comprehensive bike insurance policy, we will reimburse the medical expenses and transportation costs resulting from the damages caused in an accident. If you and/or the pillion rider on the insured bike get injured in an accident, this add-on will entitle you to claim the cost of hospitalisation and ambulance transport.

  • Additional Personal Accident Cover for the owner-driver

Since road accidents are a major cause of fatalities in India, it is advisable to include the additional personal accident cover for the owner-driver in your comprehensive bike insurance policy in India. If your Tata AIG policy has the aforementioned add-on, we shall provide your family a predetermined sum in the event of an accident leading to your demise; this amount will be an additional payment and will not affect the sum assured under the policy that will, in turn, be paid out as death benefit.

  • Additional Third-Party Damage Cover

The additional third-party damage cover enhances your financial security against third-party damages and legal liabilities thereof. Although our standalone third-party bike insurance policy and our comprehensive bike insurance policy already provide third-party liability coverage, this add-on increases the extent of said coverage.

  • Consumables Expenses

If your bike meets with an accident, several consumables may be damaged, including screws, nuts/bolts, bearings, engine oil, gearbox oil, grease, and brake oil. With the consumables expenses add-on, you can enhance the coverage of your Tata AIG comprehensive bike insurance policy and receive reimbursements for the cost of replacing, repairing, or replenishing the bike consumables mentioned in the add-on. However, the cost of the bike fuel loss in an accident is not covered under this add-on.

  • Roadside Assistance

Whilst buying your comprehensive bike insurance policy online, remember to assess and include the roadside assistance add-on to the policy. With the aforementioned add-on, you need not worry about being stranded on the road in the wake of a breakdown of your bike. Our roadside assistance is a call away; you can reach out to us at 1800 266 7780 and our team will be happy to assist you with the towing, repair, fuel replacement, battery repair or replacement, and other necessary on-spot repairs.

What is NCB in Comprehensive Bike Insurance

The Tata AIG comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy offers extensive coverage to you, your bike, and any affected third party. You can enhance the aforementioned coverage with the selection of suitable add-ons from our range of bike insurance add-ons. However, each add-on carries an additional cost that leads to a rise in your bike insurance premium.

In order to help you reduce the insurance premium of your bike on policy renewal, most insurance companies for bikes, including Tata AIG, offer the ‘No Claim Bonus’ or NCB for your comprehensive bike insurance as an important discount on the premium of policies. You can avail of the ‘No Claim Bonus’ or NCB and receive a discount on the insurance premium of your bike if you have not filed any claims for damages during the preceding year.

Therefore, whilst renewing your Tata AIG comprehensive bike insurance policy, the NCB clause enables you to benefit from a lower premium on your new policy. At Tata AIG, we offer an NCB discount of 20% on your bike insurance policy premium after the first claim-free year. With the passage of each subsequent claim-free year, the NCB discount per cent rises. However, if you file a claim in a particular year, your NCB discount becomes null and void for the upcoming policy renewal.

After five consecutive claim-free years on your comprehensive bike insurance policy, you become eligible for a 50% discount on the insurance premium of your bike from the fifth year onwards. However, if you subsequently file a claim, the NCB for that year goes back to zero. The below table paints a clear picture of the NCB discount that you can claim after each claim-free year.

Number of Consecutive Claim-Free Years No Claim Bonus Percentage
One Year 20%
Two Years 25%
Three Years 35%
Four Years 45%
Five Years and above 50%

How Comprehensive Bike Insurance Premium Calculated?

The bike insurance premium of a comprehensive bike insurance policy is determined by computing the following elements.

  • The ‘Insured Declared Value’ of the bike

The ‘Insured Declared Value’ (IDV) of your bike is the maximum sum that your insurance provider can pay you in the event of the total loss of your bike, including irreparable damage and thefts. Your bike’s IDV is calculated by adding its price with the cost of the relevant accessories. You can compute your bike’s IDV by deducting the depreciation accumulated on it and its accessories from the aforementioned price.

  • ‘No Claim Bonus’ (NCB) and other discounts

The NCB table in the preceding section sheds light on the computation of the accurate NCB discount on your comprehensive bike insurance premium. By using the aforementioned table, you can determine the NCB discount that should be taken into account while computing your new bike insurance premium along with any other discounts offered by your insurance provider. It is important to remember that the NCB discount is only applicable on the own damage component of your bike insurance premium.

  • The third-party cover

The third-party bike insurance cover of your Tata AIG policy is determined on the basis of the bike’s engine cubic capacity and in accordance with the annual insurance premium rates declared by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). Therefore, you must check the prevailing rates to ascertain your bike third-party insurance cover.

  • The premium of add-ons

Each add-on that you include to your comprehensive bike insurance policy has a bearing on the overall bike insurance premium. Therefore, you must ascertain the cost of each add-on or the aggregate cost of all the selected add-ons.

Calculate Your Bike Insurance

Tata AIG offers a simple and quick way to calculate your comprehensive bike insurance premium. To ascertain your bike insurance cost, visit the bike insurance page on our website and follow the below steps.

  • Enter the Bike’s registration number.
  • Click on ‘Get Price’ for a new policy and ‘Renew’ for the Tata AIG bike insurance renewal premium calculator.
  • Provide the required information, such as the NCB discount and the IDV, and click on Get Quote to get your bike insurance cost.

Not having made a bike insurance claim in the preceding year enables you to get low premium bike insurance upon the renewal of the policy with the virtue of the ‘No Claim Bonus’ discount. Our bike insurance renewal premium calculator is a handy tool to determine your bike’s insurance cost in a few easy steps.

Factors That Determine Comprehensive Bike Insurance Premium

Here are the main factors that determine the bike insurance premium of a comprehensive bike insurance policy. To know more bike insurance premium, check our resource on bike insurance premium calculator

  • The ‘Insured Declared Value’ (IDV) / the market value of the bike

The IDV of your bike is its market value after accounting for depreciation. Since there is no depreciation accumulated on a new bike, the IDV of a new bike is higher than that of an old bike. Your bike’s IDV is the highest sum that an insurer can provide you in the case of irreparable damage or theft of the bike. While purchasing bike insurance, you are required to enter your bike’s IDV. The higher the IDV/market value of your bike, the higher is the corresponding bike insurance price.

  • The age of the bike and the bike’s owner

The age of your bike has a significant bearing on the comprehensive bike insurance premium. Generally, new bikes have a higher premium as compared to old ones. Since the depreciation accumulated on old bikes reduces their ‘Insured Declared Value’, the corresponding bike insurance policies have a lower premium.

The age of the owner of a bike also affects the bike insurance price. Drivers who are 25 years of age or below are considered high-risk drivers from an insurance point of view. Therefore, the bikes owned by the aforementioned age group of buyers tend to have a higher bike insurance premium.

  • The make, model, variant, and fuel type of the bike

Bikes that are expensive and high-end usually have a higher bike insurance premium in comparison with low and medium-budget bikes since the former category of bikes has a high maintenance and component replacement cost. Furthermore, the fuel type of your bike also affects its insurance premium.

Bikes that run on petrol tend to attract a low bike insurance premium as compared to diesel-run bikes that require a higher degree of maintenance. The high cost of the spare parts of most diesel-run bikes also enhances their insurance premium. CNG-powered bikes also have a high bike insurance cost.

  • Registration Location

Your comprehensive bike insurance premium is likely to be high if your bike has been registered in a metropolitan city or a high-risk and high-traffic area. On the other hand, bikes registered in remote towns and villages which generally have a low incidence of road accidents tend to have a low bike insurance price.

  • Manufacturing Year

The manufacturing year of your bike is significant from an insurance perspective since it determines the age of the bike and the depreciation accumulated on it which, in turn, is important in the computation of the bike’s ‘Insured Declared Value’. Since the depreciation accumulated on a bike decreases its IDV, the corresponding bike insurance premium also gets reduced.

Therefore, old bikes generally have a lower comprehensive bike insurance price than their newer counterparts. When you buy bike insurance online, the online bike insurance premium calculator takes your bike’s manufacturing year into account.

  • Discounts

There are several discounts available on your comprehensive bike insurance premium. For instance, having an Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) approved anti-theft device installed on your bike makes you eligible for a discount on your bike insurance price owing to the added layer of security for the bike. Furthermore, if you are a member of the Automobile Association of India (AAI), you can receive a discount on your bike insurance premium.

  • No Claim Bonus (NCB)

The ‘No Claim Bonus’ in your comprehensive bike insurance policy is a reward for zero claims during a particular year. If you have an NCB accumulated on your bike insurance policy and renew your policy on a timely basis, you can receive a discount on your new bike insurance premium. After the first claims-free year, you earn an NCB discount of 20% and after five consecutive claim-free years, you are eligible for an NCB discount of 50%. Therefore, an NCB can help you reduce your bike insurance price.

How to Reduce Bike Insurance Premium?

Here is how you can reduce your bike insurance premium:

  • Drive sensibly and earn a No Claim Bonus

It is important to drive safely and follow all the traffic rules to ensure your as well as others’ security whilst on the road. If you are a sensible and responsible driver, your insured bike is significantly less vulnerable to accidents, thereby reducing your need to file a bike insurance claim. By doing so, you can earn a ‘No Claim Bonus’ and secure a discount of 20% on your comprehensive bike insurance policy renewal. The aforementioned discount can go up to 50% if you don't file a bike insurance claim for five consecutive years.

  • Opt for a reasonable IDV of your bike

You must ascertain the IDV of your bike carefully since it has a direct bearing on your comprehensive bike insurance price as well as the amount you receive from your insurer in the event of the total loss of your bike. Quoting a lower IDV will reduce your bike insurance coverage whereas quoting a higher one will lead to a higher than necessary bike insurance premium. Therefore, it is important to choose the accurate IDV for your bike.

  • By Gaining Discounts

One of the ways through which you can reduce your comprehensive bike insurance premium is by gaining discounts. Tata AIG offers a discount of up to 75% on online bike insurance policies. Furthermore, if you become a member of the Automobile Association of India (AAI), you can get discounts on your bike insurance price. You can also gain discounts on your bike insurance premium by installing ARAI-approved anti-theft devices on your bike.

  • Drop all the unnecessary bike insurance add-on covers

You must ensure the inclusion of only the required add-on covers in your comprehensive bike insurance policy since each add-on carries a price that increases your bike insurance premium. Therefore, it is pivotal to assess your bike insurance requirements before selecting the necessary add-ons. You can determine the impact of each add-on feature on your bike insurance price by using our bike insurance calculator.

  • Renew your policy before its expiry date

Ensure that you complete your comprehensive bike insurance renewal at least a few weeks before the expiration of the policy. The aforementioned approach ensures that you do not lose the ‘No Claim Bonus’ accumulated on your previous policy and also enables you to have sufficient time to re-evaluate the add-ons you want to include in your new policy.

  • Try to raise no claim for minor expenses arising out of an accident

Some accidents cause minor damages to your bike which do not have a high repair cost. In order to reduce your comprehensive bike insurance premium and earn/retain your ‘No Claim Bonus’, you must refrain from filing a bike insurance claim for minor expenses incurred in the repair of your bike.
