2.What is a third-party insurance policy?A third-party liability insurance plan provides cover against damages caused by a third party’s assets or property and injuries sustained by a third party. It is mandatory for all vehicle owners to have at least a third-party liability insurance policy.
3.What is a comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy?Comprehensive two wheeler insurance policies provide an own damage cover, which offers coverage against damages caused to the insured vehicle due to natural or man-made events. Further, this policy also offers a third-party liability insurance cover and personal accident cover to policyholders. The premium for this plan is comparatively high due to the extensive coverage that the plan provides.
4.Does the premium increase if I make a claim?If you raise a claim, you will not receive a No Claim Bonus at the end of the policy term. Thus, the premium payable will increase for the next policy year. Hence, it is advisable to not raise claims for small damages.
5.What is a deductible?Deductibles can be of two types – compulsory and voluntary. The compulsory deductible is a certain part of the claim amount that you will have to bear in the event of a claim. In comparison, you can opt for a voluntary deductible at the time of purchasing the policy. If you opt for a high voluntary discount, the premium charged will be lower, and vice versa.
