HDFC ERGO Third Party Bike Insurance Overview

Third party plans are designed as per the mandate of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

These policies do not cover the damages suffered by the bike itself. Coverage is allowed only for the following instances

  • Death of any individual in an accident involving the bike. The coverage in this case is unlimited
  • Physical injury suffered by any individual in an accident involving the bike
  • Damage to the property belonging to any individual due to the bike.

Moreover, there is also a mandatory personal accident cover of INR 15 lakhs. This provides coverage against accidental death and disablement and pays a lump sum if the owner/driver of the bike suffers from any of these contingencies.

Add-ons Available Under HDFC ERGO Two Wheeler Insurance Plans

Add-ons are additional coverage benefits which can be chosen voluntarily by paying an additional premium. Add-ons help increase the scope of coverage of the bike insurance policy. HDFC ERGO two wheeler insurance plans offer the following types of add-ons with the comprehensive policy:

In case of a claim under your two wheeler insurance policy, the parts of the bike might be replaced or repaired if they are damaged. When calculating the claim payable for the replacement or repairs of the parts, the insurance company would deduct depreciation due to usage. This depreciation reduces the claim amount. Though the garage charges the total amount incurred on repairs or replacement of the parts, the insurance company pays a reduced claim due to depreciation.
The rate of depreciation on the different parts of the bike is as follow

Types of parts of the bike Rate of depreciation applicable
Rubber, plastic or nylon parts 50%
Fiberglass parts 30%
Tyres and tubes 50%
Metal parts As per the depreciation of the Insured Declared Value of the bike

A zero depreciation add-on cover nullifies this effect of depreciation. If the add-on is selected, no depreciation is deducted from the parts which are repaired or replaced. The insurance company pays the full costs incurred in such replacement or repair. The claim amount, therefore, increases.

This add-on ensures you 24*7 assistance from the insurance company if your bike breaks down in the middle of the road. You can get assistance for the following

  • Minor repairs at the place where your bike broke down
  • Issue of a duplicate key if you lose yours
  • Change of tyres
  • Jump start of your bike’s battery
  • Emptying of the fuel tank
  • Charges incurred in towing your bike to the nearest garage
