Third-party Cover

The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 states that all scooter owners must buy a bike insurance plan to safeguard financial liabilities related to the scooter with at least a Third-party Liability cover. This plan includes third-party property damage and injuries/death. Third-party scooter insurance also takes care of any legal liabilities arising out of an accident of the insured scooter.

Comprehensive Cover

The Comprehensive Scooter Insurance Policy is exhaustive; it covers damages to the insured scooter along with all the third-party liabilities. Damages due to fire, accident, theft, natural calamities, man-made calamities, total loss (damage beyond repair), etc., are covered under this plan. Even though buying a comprehensive plan is not mandated by the law, it is a good idea to get this coverage as it provides all round insurance.

Scooter Insurance Premium Calculator

Premium Calculator for scooter insurance is an online tool that helps you understand the approximate amount of money you need to pay to buy bike insurance. Many insurance companies, for example, ACKO, have included a premium calculator in the purchase journey of scooter insurance.

You just have to answer a few questions related to the scooter and the type of insurance you need. The calculator will show an insurance quote. You can even tweak a few options through the purchase process and see how the quote changes. The Scooter Insurance Premium Calculator gives you an idea of how much you need to spend on its premium. 

How are the Premium Costs of Your Scooter Insurance Calculated?

The following factors are taken into account while calculating the cost of a scooter insurance policy.

Brand/model

The scooter insurance premium varies depending on the brand and model. Expensive scooters typically have higher premiums as their market value is higher.

Age of the scooter

The age of the scooter is indirectly proportional to the scooter insurance premium. The more the age of the scooter, the less the premium will be.

Insured Declared Value

The Insured Declared Value also affects the premium. The higher the IDV, the higher the premium.

Claim history

If you have a good claim history, which indicates that you have made no claims in the past few years, then chances are that the premium will be lower.

Type of Two-wheeler Policy

The type of two-wheeler policy also affects the scooter insurance premium. For instance, the premium of a comprehensive policy is higher than other policies.

Add-ons

The inclusion of add-ons increases the premium you pay for your scooter insurance policy. 

What is Covered and What is Not Covered Under Scooter Insurance Policy?

Listed below are the inclusions of the Scooter Insurance policy

  • Any damage due to natural calamity or fire outbreak
  • If the scooter gets stolen or lost
  • If a third party is injured or damaged due to the insured scooter
  • Personal Accident Cover

  • Normal wear and tear
  • If the scooter gets damaged outside the geographical area prescribed in the policy
  • Damage caused when the rider was under the influence of alcohol or was overspeeding
  • Riding a scooter without wearing a helmet or driving license

So, read the policy inclusions and exclusions before buying a two-wheeler insurance policy for your scooter.
