Two-wheeler insurance claim covers the Cashless Claim and Reimbursement Claim. It is the same as the claim in car insurance. The cashless claim is where the insurance provider pays for the damage caused to the two-wheeler in an accident. The insurer needs to repair his/her two-wheeler at the network garage of the insurance provider, whereas Reimbursement-Claim or Non-Cashless is where the insurer pays for the damage caused to the two-wheeler in an accident. After the payment is made, the policyholder is required to submit the receipt or bill to the insurer. If the policyholder is entitled, the provider makes a reimbursement claim. In reimbursement claim, the policyholder can get his two-wheeler repaired in any garage. Reimbursement Claim is usually made at the time of the accident; it is made only after the policyholder has already paid for the expenses. The insurer checks the costs incurred for the repair. The policyholder needs to provide valid documents. Otherwise, the insurer may reject the claim. 

It is important to understand that claims are not the only factors that affect premiums. However, it is one of the factors, but there are other factors such as nature of policy, model of the vehicle, etc. Therefore, it is not a surety that your premium will or will not change after you file a claim. 

The first two-wheeler insurance claim process includes a few steps. The policyholder needs to contact your insurer within the 24 hours of the accident. The insurer will ask you to submit the documents that are required to make a claim valid. Only after verifying the documents and considering the eligibility for claim; your 2-wheeler will be sent to the network garage to evaluate the expenses. If it is found that oversight was made on your part, then the insurer may ask you to pay the excess amount. The insurer will not disburse the amount for your bike or two-wheeler if the repairing expense exceeds the actual value. Please note that you cannot claim for the insurance if you go to the local garage that is not approved by the insurer. The insurance is valid for the vehicles that are damaged because of an accident or natural disasters. The insurance is not for the damage that is caused intentionally.

Your bike insurance policy is incomplete minus a personal accident coverage. This is essential as it provides the owner of the vehicle, any dependents to seek compensation in the event of accidental injury or fatality. Moreover, the policyholder can insure the pillion rider by purchasing additional personal accident coverage. Generally, the maximum compensation amount sanctioned is around Rs. 1 lakh, if the individuals are below 65 years in age.

Usually, insurance companies offer personal accident coverage as a rider on the two-wheeler insurance policy. The policyholder can ensure optimal protection by paying a little more on the premium of the policy.

Voluntary excess is the extra amount over and above the compulsory excess. Voluntary excess is your option to opt for bearing a certain amount of loss from every claim. For this option, you are eligible for a discount on Own Damage Premium (ODP) as listed in the table below:

It is the amount which insured has to bear for each and every claim. It is levied as mentioned in the table below:-

The Insured will be covered for any liability arising from any accident caused by or arising out of the use of the private two wheeler in respect of:

• Death or bodily injury to third parties (unlimited liability)
• Damage to the third party property (minimum of Rs.6000/- and max of Rs.7,50,000)
   

Can other accessories be insured?

Accessories can be insured under a two wheeler insurance policy with an additional premium. In case these are factory fitted they are automatically insured under the policy however insured needs to insure them separately if those are installed later. Insured will have to pay additional premium to cover the accessories in two wheeler insurance policy.

The following events or losses are not covered in two wheeler insurance policy:

• Mechanical/ Electrical breakdown
• Wear and tear, ageing of vehicle
• Consequential loss*
• Depreciation
• Deliberate accidental loss
• Intoxicated driving
• Any contractual liability
• Damage to/ by a person driving any vehicle without a valid license

*Consequential loss is an indirect loss, which is not directly resulting out of a loss event, but arising as a consequence of loss event. For example, Mr. Singh was on his way to office for an important meeting with client. Unfortunately, his vehicle met with a road accident resulting in damages to the vehicle and it consumed lot of his time. Due to this, he could not attend the meeting resulting in loss of approx 15 Lakhs. Damages to two wheeler due to the accident are covered, but the loss of 15 Lakhs is consequential and hence not covered.

for business purposes excluding the carriage of goods other than samples by you
or your employees. Bharti AXA two wheeler insurance policy will protect you against any loss or damage to the two wheeler and its accessories during the following events:

This includes a variety of circumstances such as be natural calamities, burglary, theft, riots or terrorist activity or damage caused during travel. However, loss of personal belongings or damage to the vehicle caused as a result of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not covered in this type of bike insurance policy.

Two-wheeler insurance premium can be impacted by a number of factors. These include:

1. Type of Insurance Policy: Third-party liability insurance offers basic protection against third party damages. The comprehensive insurance plan providers a 360 degree security, hence making the premium more expensive.

2. Type and Condition of the Two-Wheeler: The bike engine’s cubic capacity differs from model to model. Those two-wheelers with higher cubic capacity will draw a greater insurance premium.

3. Risk Evaluation: Parameters like the driver’s age, gender, driving experience and record helps insurance companies to assess the risk factor involved at the time of issuing the policy.

4. Two-Wheeler’s Market Value: The brand, age, the bike’s functionality and resale value are contributing factors that impact two-wheeler insurance premium.

5. Add-on Covers: Adding extras such as zero depreciation cover, personal accident cover, medical cover and cashless hospitalization cover attracts a higher premium.

6. Modifications Done on Bike: Adding modifications to enhance the bike’s aesthetics and performance will require the policyholder to solicit another rider, plus the premium to secure coverage.

A number of factors influence the insurance premium rating for your two wheeler. Knowing what these are can be useful to make an informed choice when choosing a two wheeler insurance policy.

Type and Details of Two Wheeler

All the technical details of the bike such as the make, model, fuel type, engine capacity, showroom cost, age of the bike and its usage, accessories and modifications added if any, are taken into consideration when deciding the premium.   

In general, certain makes and models, higher engine capacity, and the more expensive sports bikes and super bikes, lots of modifications done, tend to attract a higher rate of premium.  

RTO location

Place of registration of the two-wheeler also impacts the premium rating.

Type of Insurance Cover

The two wheeler insurance policy premium will also depend upon the type of cover you choose, the Insured Declared Value or IDV of the two wheeler, your claims history and any policy add-ons that you may have opted for.

In general, more comprehensive the coverage, the number and type of add-ons selected and higher the vehicle’s IDV, the premium could also increase accordingly.

As per the Indian Motor Tariff, it is mandatory for all vehicles to have at least a third-party insurance in place. So, the same rule applies even if your bike’s insurance policy is up for renewal during the Coronavirus lockdown.

The best to renew your policy is online. You can visit your insurance provider’s website to renew the policy directly on its platform. Alternatively, there are many credible third-party aggregator sites where you can renew your bike insurance conveniently.

Remember that scooter/bike insurance renewal needs to be done a few days before it expires. If there is a time lag between the expiry and scooter/bike insurance renewal, you won't be able to get insurance benefits in the interim.
