What is Bike Insurance?
Bike insurance or two-wheeler insurance is an insurance policy that covers you against damages to your two-wheeler due to accidents, natural/man-made disasters, fire, and theft. The policy also provides law-mandated coverage against third-party liabilities such as damage to another person’s vehicle/property or injuries/death of a third party caused due to the insured two-wheeler. You can buy insurance for 2 wheelers to cover motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, etc.
Benefits of Buying Bike Insurance Online
Here are the advantages of buying bike insurance online.
Personal Accident Cover
Buying bike insurance online also enables you to avail the compulsory Personal Accident cover. You must purchase this cover separately, and it provides coverage of up to Rs. 15 lakhs against accidental injury/death of the owner of the insured two-wheeler.
Easy NCB Transfer
NCB or No Claim Bonus is the discount offered by the insurers to the policyholders (own damage cover) who do not raise a claim during the policy period. If you buy a new two-wheeler, you can easily transfer the NCB while buying a new bike insurance policy online.
Financial Coverage
A Comprehensive Bike Insurance Policy offers financial coverage if your insured two-wheeler suffers damages due to accidents, fire damages, damages due to natural or man-made disasters or theft. The two wheeler insurance policy also covers third-party liabilities.
Types Of Two Wheeler Insurance Policies
There are mainly two types of bike insurance plans in India, and we offer both of them. Apart from that, you can also purchase the mandatory PA cover from our website/app. Here are more details regarding the bike insurance types at ACKO.
Third-party Bike Insurance Plan
Third Party Bike Insurance Policy (TP insurance) is mandated by law in India. It provides coverage against third-party liabilities. In other words, a Third-party two wheeler insurance policy provides financial protection if your vehicle damages another person’s vehicle/property or causes injury/death to a third party in an accident, but it does not cover loss or damage to your own two-wheeler.
Comprehensive Bike Insurance Plan
Comprehensive Bike Policy provides all the coverage offered by the Third-party Two Wheeler Insurance Plan and also covers damages/losses incurred by your two-wheeler. This type of insurance for bikes covers events such as accidental damages, fire damages, natural disasters (floods, earthquakes, etc.), man-made calamities (riots) and theft of the insured bike.
Standalone Own Damage Insurance
Own Damage or OD insurance is a type of bike insurance plan that provides coverage against damages to your two-wheeler. Note that this policy will not cover third-party liabilities. It is an ideal policy to buy if you already have a third-party policy for your bike.
Add-Ons for Bike Insurance
Following are more details about the add-ons you can purchase with the Comprehensive Bike Insurance Policy.
Zero Depreciation Cover
This add-on provides coverage against the depreciation of bike parts. In other words, Zero Depreciation bike insurance ensures that you get the full claim amount without any deductions related to the depreciation of vehicle components. It is an essential add-on if you are insuring a new bike.
Personal Accident (PA) Cover
This may not qualify as a type of two-wheeler insurance plan, but it is an essential add-on cover. Similar to third-party bike insurance, Personal Accident cover is mandatory as per law. While the insurance for the bike provides coverage against your vehicle, the PA cover offers financial protection against events such as disability/death due to an accident while riding your bike or scooter.

Factors Affecting Bike Insurance Premium
You may have noticed that the two wheeler insurance policy premium varies from one vehicle to another. Ever wondered why? That’s because of the factors that affect bike insurance premium calculation. Let’s have a look at the same. Note that only the vehicle’s make/model and engine capacity impact the Third-party Policy premium. The rest of the factors are only applicable to the Comprehensive Bike Insurance premium.
Type of Coverage
You may have noticed that the policy premium varies from one vehicle to another. Ever wondered why? That’s because of the factors that affect bike insurance premium calculation. Let’s have a look at the same. Note that only the vehicle’s make/model and engine capacity impact the Third-party Policy premium. The rest of the factors are only applicable to the Comprehensive Bike Insurance premium.
Two-Wheeler Make/Model and Variant
The next significant factor that may alter the bike insurance premium is your two-wheeler's make/model and variant. For instance, if you own a basic commuter bike, you pay less premium. On the other hand, a high-end motorcycle will attract a higher premium. That's because the higher the value of the insured bike, the higher the risk for the insurer. Hence, the premium goes up to cover the higher risk factor.
IDV
Insured Declared Value or IDV plays a critical role in deciding the bike insurance policy's premium. It is the approximate market value of a vehicle, and it is also the sum insured amount of the insurance policy. It is calculated after determining the value of your two-wheeler. So, if you own a premium vehicle, the IDV will be high, and the bike insurance premium will increase. Note that it’s not your bike’s resale value.
Age of The Two-Wheeler
The vehicle's age dictates its market value, and the market value is nothing but the IDV. Hence, a new two-wheeler has a higher IDV, and in turn, the bike insurance premium is also on the higher side. Whereas an old bike/scooter's (classic bike) IDV is lower, the same applies to the premium. That's the reason why insuring a new vehicle costs more than insuring an old vehicle.
NCB
No Claim Bonus or NCB is the discount you can avail of for not raising any claim in a policy year. The discount applies during the bike insurance renewal, and the premium reduces depending on the percentage of discount you are eligible for. You can get up to a 50% discount on the premium (Own Damage component) for not raising any claims for five consecutive years. You can also transfer the NCB benefits if you switch to a new insurer.
Vehicle's Location
The geographical location where you ride the vehicle also plays a role in bike insurance premium calculation. For instance, if you reside in a metro city, the risk of an accident is high. Hence, the premium will be on the higher side. On the other hand, the bike insurance premium will be lesser in a tier-1 or tier-2 city where the risk factor decreases. Hence, your location also impacts the insurance premium.
How to Save on Bike Insurance Premium?
Here are a few points that you can keep in mind to save on bike insurance premiums. Note that these tips are for purchasing a Comprehensive 2 Wheeler Insurance Policy.
Choose the Two-wheeler Model Wisely
Insuring a commuter motorcycle is cheaper than insuring a premium sports bike. That’s because the sports bike has a larger engine capacity and higher market value than the commuter model. So, it’s better to consider the long-term two wheeler insurance costs while purchasing your new two-wheeler.
Know Your Two-Wheeler’s Correct Value
Knowing the correct market value of your bike/scooter can save you money. Sometimes the IDV may be higher than the actual value of your vehicle. In such scenarios, knowing the accurate value helps to decrease the bike insurance premium because the lesser the IDV, the lower the premium.
Opt for Voluntary Deductible
Voluntary Deductible refers to the amount you agree to pay out of your pocket during a bike insurance claim. You can increase the percentage of Voluntary Deductible if you are confident enough that you are not going to raise a claim during the policy tenure. That way, you can buy cheap bike insurance. Increasing the percentage of this component will decrease the premium.
Use your NCB Discount
Ensure that you utilise the NCB discount while renewing your policy. Even if you switch from one insurance provider to another, you can use the discount. You can get up to a 50% discount on the two-wheeler policy premium (Own Damage component) if you have not raised a single claim for five consecutive years.
Renew the Policy on Time
Always make sure to renew the two wheeler insurance policy before the due date. You lose the NCB benefits if the policy is not renewed within 90 days of expiry. Hence, renewing the bike insurance plan on time can save you from paying higher premiums.
Anti-Theft Devices
Insurers offer discounts on bike insurance premiums if your vehicle has an ARAI-certified anti-theft device. It reduces the risk of vehicle theft. Hence, insurance providers will reward you for the same by reducing the premium.

Why Bike Insurance is Mandatory?
Third-party bike insurance is mandatory in India to comply with the law. However, it’s not only about adhering to the rules and regulations. Accidents are unpredictable, and they can have severe consequences. To protect road users from financial burdens arising from road accidents, the government has made third-party insurance mandatory, which covers third-party liabilities and protects you and road users (third parties) from financial losses.
Bike Insurance Prices for Different Two Wheelers
Bike insurance premiums can be different for different two-wheelers. The chosen coverage and the cubic capacity of the vehicle's engine play a vital role in calculating the bike insurance price.
Since the price for Comprehensive Bike Insurance is primarily based on the amount of coverage, it is difficult to tell in advance what the policy may cost. However, the Third-party Bike Insurance prices are based on the bike's engine cubic capacity; thus, the price can be determined in advance (the amount of coverage is uniform across insurers).
Here are the Third-party Two-wheeler Insurance prices for FY 2022-23. Prices are subject to change as per the IRDAI.
CUBIC CAPACITY (CC) OF THE TWO-WHEELER | THIRD-PARTY BIKE INSURANCE PRICE |

75cc to 150cc | Rs. 714 |

What does total loss mean in two wheeler insurance?
Total loss refers to vehicle damages that are beyond repair. In other words, if the cost of repair exceeds 75% of the vehicle's IDV, then such a vehicle is declared a total loss. The insurer will compensate you by paying the IDV amount for such claims. That's why it's essential to set a correct IDV when you buy a new policy
What Is IDV in bike insurance?

What are cashless and reimbursement claims in bike insurance?
Cashless Claim is a claim process wherein the insurance provider will directly pay the repair bill (as per the policy’s terms and conditions) to the network garage. You only need to get the vehicle repaired and pay the amount that’s not covered by the policy, and the rest will be taken care of by your insurer.
In a Reimbursement Claim, you can repair your two-wheeler at your preferred garage, settle the repair bill and raise a claim for reimbursement with supporting documents such as the original repair bills, payment receipts, etc.
What does a surveyor do during the bike insurance claim process?
The surveyor inspects and assesses the damage suffered by your two-wheeler and of the third party (if required). Post that, the surveyor will submit a report on the damage assessment to the insurer to process the claim request.
Is it a good idea not to claim for minor damages?
Yes, it is an excellent decision not to raise the claim against your policy if the damage is minimal. It will help you retain your NCB discount for not raising a claim during the policy period. If you have not made any claims for five years in a row, you are eligible for a 50% discount on the two-wheeler policy premium (Own Damage component). Hence, it will be beneficial in the long term if you avoid making claims for minor damages to your bike/scooter.
