What is
Two-wheeler Insurance?

Your bike is always at risk of accidents, breakdowns, fires and many other imaginable mishaps on the road. These scenarios can be the reason for financial losses in the form of repairs and even hospitalisation. How you do protect yourself from these financial losses? Simple. With a two-wheeler insurance policy. A two-wheeler or bike insurance is designed to offer you reimbursement for losses you face on the road like accidents or injuries. It’s the perfect foil for financial problems that a bike accident could cause.

Under the Motor Vehicle Act 1988 along with its amendments as notified from time to time, it is mandatory for all bike owners in India to have at least a third-party liability insurance. Third-party bike insurance is the minimum level of coverage required by law, but it does not provide protection against things like theft, fire, and natural disasters.

There are three main types of bike or scooter insurance: third-party, comprehensive, and own damage. Third-party bike insurance is the minimum level of coverage required by law in India, and it covers you in the event that an accident occurs that injures another person or damages their property. If you are found without bike insurance, you may be subject to a fine of up to Rs.2000.

Comprehensive 2-wheeler insurance is not required by law, but it provides additional protection against things like theft, fire, and natural disasters. Own damage bike insurance covers damage to your own motorcycle, regardless of who is at fault.

So, insure your two-wheeler with Reliance General Insurance today.

Top 7 Factors that Affect Your
Two-Wheeler Insurance Premium

The final premium amount of your two-wheeler is always a result of many factors. These factors, as you will see, is linked to the specifics of your bike and connected to yourself as the owner/driver too. Below we list out in detail what factors affect your bike insurance premium.

Type of Insurance Policy

Type of Insurance Policy

There are three types of bike insurance you can buy. It can be a third-party bike insurance policy, a comprehensive bike insurance policy, or an own damage two-wheeler insurance. A third-party bike insurance policy is mandatory by law and covers damages caused by you to the third party. A comprehensive bike insurance policy, on the other hand, covers both own damage and third-party liability. Moreover, own damage bike insurance policies are of two types - with and without depreciation. The own damage two-wheeler insurance covers damages caused to your bike, irrespective of who is at fault. Your insurance premium will fluctuate depending on what type of policy you purchase.

Type of Bike

Type of Bike

The premium for your bike insurance policy will depend on the type of bike that you own. For example, if you own a sport bike, then the premium will be higher as compared to a standard motorcycle. This is because sports bikes come with a higher engine capacity which makes more powerful and faster that exposes it to a higher risk of accidents. Morever, sports bikes are likely to have expensive parts which will cost higher to replace if damaged. Thus, the type of bike you’re getting insured directly affects your insurance premium.

Cubic Capacity

Cubic Capacity

It is the engine capacity of your bike expressed in Cubic Centimeters (cc). The higher the cc, the higher will be the premium. This is because the cc is an indicator of how much power the bike will produce. The more a bike can produce power the faster it can go. The faster it can possibly go the higher the chance of accidents and other misfortunes. Therefore, a higher or lower cc affects your insurance premium in a tangible way.

Risk Evaluation Based

Risk Evaluation Based on Driver's Record

Your age and past record plays a major role in your insurance premium. We will check your driving record before finalising the premium. This will involve reviewing your age and gender. For example, if you are in your early 20s and just got your license, the premium you have to pay will be higher compared to someone who is middle-aged and has years of driving experience. Since those who are experienced are less prone to get into accidents as compared to someone who just started out riding a bike.

The Market Value

The Market Value of the Bike

The premium you have to pay will also be based on the current market value or Insured Declared Value (IDV) of your bike. The market value depends on the brand and functionality of the vehicle. The newer your bike the higher will be the IDV which leads to a higher premium. As years pass and your bike or scooter gets older, the value depreciates and brings down your IDV. In that case, your bike’s insurance premium amount will be lower.

Modifications Done on Bike

Modifications Done on Bike

If you have made modifications to your bike, then it will also be considered while finalising the premium. Some people install expensive parts and accessories for better performance and looks. This will result in a higher premium as the bike will be considered more valuable. Also expensive parts and accessories mean that replacing them will cost higher thus causing your premium amount to go higher.

Add-on Covers

Add-on Covers

You can also opt for add-on covers to get additional coverage. Some of the popular add-on covers you can opt for are nil depreciation, roadside assistance, engine protector, and pillion rider cover. While these add-ons enhance your coverage and give you more protection, it also leads to a higher premium amount.

Things to Keep in Mind Before Buying a
Two-Wheeler Insurance Policy Online

There are a few points to keep in mind before you purchase that two-wheeler insurance plan. This will help you decide what best suits your needs. So keep these in mind before you buy a bike insurance plan online:

Type of Policy

Type of Policy

Selecting the type of policy will affect your premium amount and the coverage you get. There are three types of two-wheeler insurance policies that we offer. They are the third-party liability policy, stand alone own damage policy and comprehensive bike insurance policy. The third-party policy covers only third-party damages, the own-damage covers damage done to your own bike and a comprehensive policy covers both. So pick a plan that suits need (a third-party policy is mandatory so it’s a choice between own-damage and comprehensive).

Premium Amount

Premium Amount

The premium amount is what you pay towards your insurance policy to activate it and avail its benefits for the policy year. Your bike insurance’s premium amount is affected by a variety of factors including make and model of your two-wheeler, registration year, add-on covers, any modification or accessories you installed and your driving record. So based on these factors your premium amount is quoted and it should help your decision on what type of bike insurance you should buy.

Network Garages

Network Garages

A network garage is a garage that we as an insurance company have partnered with. Any garage we’ve partnered with offers our customers cashless repairs which effectively means you don’t have to pay anything from your pocket. So an insurance company, like Reliance General Insurance, that has a wide network of garages will make it easier for your to repair your two-wheeler without paying a single rupee from your pocket.

Claim Settlement Process

Claim Settlement Process

There are two ways your claim can be settled. One is via the cashless route through our network garages and the other is by reimbursement where you get repairs done at a non-network garage and then get your expenses reimbursed through our claims team. If the steps to filing a claim are few, like how it is at Reliance General Insurance, then your settlement is processed quicker. Moreover, the claim settlement ratio, that is, the number of claims an insurance company has processed versus the number of claims they've received, is an indicator of the likelihood of your claim being processed. Getting your two-wheeler policy from an insurance company like Reliance General Insurance with an excellent claim settlement ratio helps you in the long run.

It is mandatory, by law, to have third-party insurance. Own damage insurance protects you against losses to you, your vehicle and co-passengers. A comprehensive insurance provides own damage cover in addition to third party coverage.

  • You can insure only private two-wheelers, i.e. you can get a bike or scooter insurance online.

    • Previous policy number (if you have any)
    • Vehicle manufacturing date (mm/yy)
    • Date and city of purchase

Payments also become easier via Net Banking and Credit Card.

  • Yes, you can! All you have to do is enter Policy No./ Cover No., Engine Number, bike’s make ans model, and you can renew the policy online.

  • If your motorcycle policy has expired, you can renew the policy by making payment online. Your Inspection ID will be generated and post satisfactory inspection and recommendation by surveyor your policy will be issued. Note: this is only for Two Wheeler own damage and comprehensive insurance and not for Third Party Liability Insurance.

  • Once a request is raised in, the inspection takes place within 48 hours. A successful inspection is followed by an online recommendation made to you, by the surveyor. Within the 48 hours following that recommendation, you will have to log-in to the website and convert your two wheeler insurance policy. Failing to convert your policy within that time frame means that you have to go through the entire process again.

  • If you’ve not claimed anything on your policy in the previous policy term, you get a discount on your scooter/bike insurance ​premium in the following next policy terms. This discount is called a No-Claim Bonus. This discount can be accumulated on a yearly basis starting from 20% at the first claim-free renewal, 25% at the second, 35% at the third, 45% at the fourth and 50% at the fifth claim free year, which is then continued for following claim-free years.

  • Yes, If you have accumulated NCB, at the time of renewing your existing two wheeler insurance policy, you can transfer the NCB. This needs to be done within 90 days of your renewal due date. If you wish to change your insurance provider at the time of renewing your policy, you can enjoy your NCB discount by getting it transferred.

  • The NCB will be transferred to Reliance General Insurance at the same rate you are entitled to get from your previous insurance provider while renewing your policy. However, remember to provide the No-Claim Bonus certificate from your previous insurance company to ensure the transfer.

  • The policy remains more or less unaffected even if you move. You will, of course, need to change your contact details i.e. your new address and phone number. This can be done online or at any Reliance General Insurance branch closest to you!  Your premium might change depending on the city you’re moving to. This is simply because motor insurance rates are fixed based on the registration zone of the vehicle. All metro cities (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune) are part of Zone A, which has a higher rate of premium than the rest of the country (Zone B). So if you’re moving from a Zone B city to a Zone A city, your bike insurance premium will increase and vice versa.

  • Besides the fact that the bike insurance policy protects you against financial losses, it is also illegal to drive a bike with an expired insurance policy. So, bike insurance renewal must be done before the expiry of the existing policy, so the policyholder can enjoy uninterrupted coverage and stay on the right side of the law.

  • As a practice, Reliance General Insurance send reminders to our customers before the policy expiration. But if you still miss the deadline, you can renew it even after expiry. However, it’s crucial to know that if you delay it more than 90 days, you will lose your No Claim Bonus and will end up paying more in insurance premiums. Also, a delayed renewal would lead to a fresh inspection of the bike, which might reduce its Insured Declared Value (IDV).

  • Yes, if you get an anti-theft device installed on your bike that is certified by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), you are eligible for discounts on premiums as it reduces the risk factor for the insurer.

  • The premium of a bike insurance policy depends on factors like the type of the insurance one is opting for, the IDV the person wants, the age, make, model of the bike, and the age and geographical location of the person seeking the policy.

  • Yes, as per the Motor Vehicles Act, it is mandatory to have a Third Party bike insurance that will cover third-party liabilities. However, we recommend you take a Comprehensive insurance plan that will cover not only third-party damages, but also damages and losses to your own vehicle.

However, you can transfer the No Claim Bonus accumulated in your policy to your name which can be used for your new bike.

  • In case of minor repairs, it is better not to make a claim. This way, you will be rewarded with a No Claim Bonus which is a discount on your premium amount at the time of renewal for not making any claims during the policy period.

    We recommend that you opt for a Third-Party Liability Cover because it is compulsory to be taken as per the Motor Vehicles Act. It covers third-party property damage and provides liability for the third-party in case of injury or death. Simply put, this cover offers you protection if the other party is uninsured or underinsured. If you get a Personal Accident Cover, you will be covered against accidental death and permanent, total disablement. This policy is active anywhere in the world, whether you are driving or otherwise.

    Apart from this, you can opt for any one of these add-on covers to get more comprehensive coverage:

    • Total Cover
    • Nil Depreciation
  • The risks that we don’t cover in this policy are as follows:

    • Normal wear-and-tear of the vehicle
    • Mechanical and electrical breakdown
    • Vehicle being used other than in accordance with the limitations as to use. For example, if you use your two-wheeler for remuneration purposes.
    • Damage to / by person driving without a valid driving license
    • Loss or damage caused while riding under the influence of alcohol or any other intoxicating substance
    • Loss or damage due to depreciation of the vehicle’s value
    • Consequential loss - if the original damage causes subsequent damage / loss, only the original damage will be covered.
    • Compulsory deductibles - a fixed amount that gets deducted at the time of the claim.
  • Third-Party Cover is mandatory in India, so you have to purchase one when you get your two-wheeler. A Third-Party Liability policy covers you against legal liability for injury or death or property damage caused to any third party, who is not in the insurance contract in an accident. However, this policy does not cover damages or loss caused to your own vehicle in an accident or theft. In order to have a complete coverage, you should have a Comprehensive Two Wheeler Insurance Cover.

  • This is an optional cover, which protects you against accidental death and permanent total disablement. The Personal Accident cover is valid for 24x7, whether you are driving or otherwise.

  • You can claim the PA cover only if the Motor Insurance Policy:

    • is in your name and you are the registered owner of the vehicle.
    • has an owner-driver, paid-driver or unnamed passenger cover.
  • This is an add-on cover, which can prove beneficial if your two wheeler is completely damaged in an accident or it is stolen. In this case, the total sum of the expenses paid for the vehicle insurance, registration charges and road tax is reimbursed proportionately.

  • IDV stands for Insured's Declared Value (IDV). This is the present market value of a vehicle. It is calculated by adjusting the current manufacturer's listed selling price of the vehicle with depreciation percentage as listed in the table below:

    Vehicle Age % of Depreciation
    > 6 months 5%
    < 6 months but > 1 year 15%
    < 1 year but > 2 years 20%
    < 2 years but > 3 years 30%
    < 3 years but > 4 years 40%
    < 4 years but > 5 years 50%
  • Electrical accessories are any electronically powered accessories that are part of your vehicle. You can protect electrical accessories, which are not manufacturer fitted, by paying an extra premium of 4% on the value of the item. The value of the item is as stated by you i.e. the insured. Non-electrical accessories include anything from foot rests to seat covers, which are not manufacturer fitted. Protection for these can be achieved by paying an extra premium on the invoice value.

  • Add-on covers literally add extra protection and cover benefits to your policy. They help to customise your two wheeler insurance policy based on your requirements.

    You can opt for any one of these add-on covers to get more comprehensive coverage:

    • Total Cover
    • Nil Depreciation
    • Voluntary Deductible
  • Voluntary deductible is an amount that you agree to pay towards a claim before we as the insurance company picks up the balance. It is a fixed and minimum amount that you declare to pay when you make a claim. This amount is inversely proportional to your premium. The higher your Voluntary Deductible amount, the lower is your premium.

    For example, if your claim amount is Rs. 20,000 and the voluntary deductible is Rs. 3,000 then you have to bear the first Rs. 3,000 and the claim will be worth Rs.17,000.
    Your deductible amount will differ as per the Cubic Capacity (CC) of your vehicle.

    You may also opt for a higher deductible over and above the compulsory deductible (GR-40) amount. In this case, we will award you with a suitable discount based on the following table.

    Voluntary Deductible Amount Discount

  • You should immediately report to the police about your stolen vehicle before registering any claim. A delay in reporting will affect your claim, and Reliance General Insurance could deny liability.

  • Cashless Claim: A cashless claim is one, where physical cash does not exchange hands during the settlement of the claim. We, the insurers, will pay the repair charges of the vehicle directly to the garage.
    However, this is possible only if the garage is part of our listed network of garages.

    Non-Cashless / Reimbursement Claim: This type of payment or settlement occurs when you choose a garage that is not part of our network. In this case, you need to make the complete payment to the garage at the time of the repairs. Later, you can get this amount reimbursed by submitting the original bills and payment receipts to our office.

  • If the damage to the vehicle is minimal, it is always a good idea not to make a claim. This will help you to benefit from the No-Claim Bonus (NCB) for every claim-free year.
    If you don't make any claim on your insurance policy for a few years, the NCB can reduce your premium cost to half the price. In fact, it could very well be the case that the amount you spend on small repairs occasionally is lesser than the amount you stand to lose as No-Claim Bonus.

  • You can cancel your claim by calling our Paid Number: +91 22 48903009. Another way is O contacting the designated claim manager and submitting a formal request (mail) to withdraw the claim.
