What to Consider when Purchasing Bike Insurance?

Finding the ideal two-wheeler insurance plan can be a difficult task given the number of options available in the motor insurance market today. To find the most suitable plan for your two-wheeler, these are a few important things to keep in mind:

• Type of coverage - Customers can choose from two types of two-wheeler insurance: liability-only policy or a comprehensive package. Comprehensive cover includes expenses incurred in damage to self and own property as well as third-party liabilities. A liability-only policy the basic legal requirement of insurance for every two-wheeler. This type of policy covers only expenses incurred in third-party damages to people or property.
• Plan cost - The cost of the plan is the premium that has to be paid in order to commence risk cover. Premiums depend on the city of registration and purchase, the make and model of the bike, the cubic capacity, the details of the driver and so on.

• Deductibles - Deductibles means the portion of the bill that you are willing to pay in case of a claim. The two-wheeler insurance provider will pay for the rest of the bill. Choosing a lower deductible will increase your premium, but when it comes to making a claim, the insurance company will be liable to pay for a larger portion of the bill. Choosing a higher deductible will reduce your premium, but in case of a claim, you will have to pay a higher amount.
• Cashless claims - Cashless claims settlements save a lot of time, reduce the hassle and out-of-pocket expenses. If your insurance provider offers cashless settlements, you will not be required to pay from your own pocket for the repairs. Reimbursement claims require you to pay the entire bill and later submit documents and bills to the insurer and collect a refund.
• No-Claim bonus - A no-claim bonus (NCB) is given to customers who do not make a claim during the policy period. The NCB is a discount on premiums when the policy is renewed. NCB is 20% for the first claim-free year and subsequently increases to 25%, 35%, 45% and 50% maximum. NCB cannot be transferred between policyholders.
• Limits on claims - Insurance providers usually have limits on the amount you can claim in the event of an accident. Under comprehensive plans, the caps are dependent on the sum assured, premiums paid and coverage selected. For death caused to a third party, there is usually no limit. For claims on damage to third-party property, the insurance amount is capped at Rs.1 lakh.
• Exclusions - Insurance plans usually have exclusions under which the insurer will not be liable to pay any claims. Some of the common exclusions of two-wheeler insurance plans are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving without a valid licence, damage due to war, terrorism or nuclear-related incidents, gross negligence in case of theft, consequential losses and so on.

How to Transfer Ownership of Bike Insurance for Vehicles of Other State?

When you sell you two-wheeler, you can transfer the insurance policy by changing the name to the new owner. If the new owner fulfills the eligibility criteria of the insurance plan, the company will transfer the name. To do so, you can follow the steps given below:

• Contact your insurance provider via the customer care or visit the branch/agent.
• Inform them that you are selling the bike and place a request to transfer the plan to the new owner.
• Once the new owner provides the details and documents required, the company will transfer the policy name to the new owner.
• You can apply for an NCB certificate if you have accumulated a no-claim bonus on your policy. The bonus will remain in your name as it is not transferrable to another person. If you buy a new insurance policy on a different vehicle, you can avail the NCB from your old policy.

Ensure that the name is transferred to the new owner so that you are not connected to any future liabilities that may arise in connection with the bike. To transfer the name, you need to visit the Regional Transport Authority (RTO). You need to inform them of the sale of the vehicle and apply for a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
