Hero CBZ Insurance

With their ability to ride through traffic jams and narrow lanes of cities, bikes are one of the most popular modes of transport in India. The first performance bike, Hero CBZ, was developed by Hero Honda in 1999 and is one of the most powerful bikes in India. After the break-up of the Hero Honda alliance, the bike was discontinued in 2005 and later launched by the name CBZ Xtreme.

If you own a Hero CBZ, you would like to protect it with a suitable insurance policy considering the traffic scenario today and various other threats. But before that, you must understand the types of insurance policies available.

There are three types of insurance policies in India that include a third-party liability cover, standalone own damage policy and comprehensive insurance. Third-party insurance protects you from financial liabilities arising from third-party injury and damage. On the other hand, standalone own damage compensates for own damage as well. As the name implies, comprehensive insurance protects your bike comprehensively from threats like theft, vandalism, natural calamities, accidental damage, etc.

Understanding your bike’s needs, Tata AIG offers the above-mentioned bike insurance policies tailored to meet your requirements. You can also buy the add-on covers for your Hero CBZ insurance to give it the maximum care. For the purchase of a suitable Hero bike insurance online, the step-by-step procedure is discussed below.

Renewing your bike insurance policy every year can be cumbersome, and you may also sometimes forget to renew it. Thus, Tata AIG offers long-term two-wheeler insurance that allows you to insure your bike for two to three years.

The premium amount for your Hero CBZ is determined using multiple factors. The Hero CBZ insurance cost varies according to the Insured Declared Value. IDV is the amount the insurance company pays in case of the bike’s total loss or damage. Thus, Tata AIG factors in the make and model of your bike, location, cubic capacity, ex-showroom price, and type of use of the bike to calculate the IDV. You can also calculate the IDV of your Hero CBZ with the help of the two-wheeler insurance premium calculator online or by visiting a nearby local dealer.

Sometimes, comprehensive bike insurance does not suffice considering the traffic scenario and other threats. So, to enhance your policy coverage, you can buy suitable add-ons for your Hero CBZ at extra premiums. The riders offered by Tata AIG are as follows:

• Key Replacement
• Engine Secure
• Tyre Secure
• No Claim Bonus Protection
• Roadside Assistance Cover
• Zero Depreciation Cover
• Emergency Transport & Hotel Expense Cover
• Consumables Expense Cover

Before purchasing insurance for your bike, keep in mind that opting for add-on covers will give you added benefits, but your Hero CBZ insurance cost will shoot up. Therefore, we recommend you carefully assess your requirements before selecting add-on covers.
