This is an annual comprehensive two-wheeler insurance plan which allows you coverage for third party legal liability as well as for the damages suffered by your bike.
This policy gives you comprehensive coverage on your bike for three consecutive years. The policy runs for three years wherein the third party premium is fixed for the coverage duration.
This is a liability only policy as is mandated by the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. This policy covers only the third party liability that you suffer in case of an accident involving your bike. The damages suffered by the bike are not covered under this plan.
This is a third party liability policy which offers continuous coverage for 5 years. This policy has been mandated for bikes which have been bought on or after 1st September 2018. So, if you buy a new bike now, you would have to opt for five year third party liability coverage on it.
This policy offers a combination of third party coverage and own damage coverage for different tenures. Third party liability coverage is available for five years as per the new mandate while own damage coverage is available for one year. New bike owners can, therefore, opt for this policy to reduce their premium outgo.
Under this policy, both the third party liability cover and own damage cover are allowed for five continuous years. Thus, this is a long term comprehensive two-wheeler insurance policy for bikes bought on or after 1st September 2018.
Coverage under Bajaj bike insurance policies depends on the type of policy that you buy. There are, primarily, two main types of coverages in a two wheeler insurance policy. They are as follows –
Where ‘third party’ is defined to be any other individual apart from the bike owner and the insurance company.
A mandatory personal accident cover is also available under both third party and comprehensive bike insurance plans. This coverage is allowed for INR 15 lakhs and it covers accidental deaths and disabilities. If the owner/driver of the bike suffers accidental death or becomes disabled in an accident involving the bike, the cover pays a lump sum benefit.
The following instances of claims are not covered under both third party and comprehensive bike insurance cover –
If you buy a comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy from Bajaj Allianz, you also get the option to add optional coverage benefits to the plan. These coverage benefits provide a wider scope of coverage and pay an increased benefit in a claim. The add-ons, however, require you to pay an additional premium which is quite low and affordable. You can choose as many add-ons as you like depending on your coverage needs.
Bajaj Allianz two wheeler insurance plans offer the following types of add-ons with a comprehensive policy –
Under this cover the company promises to provide you on the spot help in case your bike breaks down in the middle of the road. This assistance is provided every day and at any time. If your bike breaks down and you are unable to use it, you can call the helpline number of the insurance company at 1800 103 5858 24*7 and seek assistance.
When the bike is used, it undergoes normal wear and tear and depreciates over time. Since depreciation is not covered under bike insurance plans, in case of a claim, the company deducts the applicable depreciation from the claim amount and then pays the claim. You, however, would face the total cost of repairing the bike. The depreciation deducted by the company would, therefore, have to be paid from your pockets. If you choose this add-on, this can be prevented. The zero depreciation cover removes the effect of depreciation from claim calculation. The insurance company does not factor in the depreciation of the bike and pays the total costs incurred in repairs. This, therefore, increases your claim amount and reduces your out of pocket expenses.
Bike insurance policies have a mandatory personal accident cover for the owner/driver of the bike. However, the pillion rider is not covered. With this add-on the personal accident cover can be extended to cover the pillion rider too. The cover would pay a lump sum benefit if the pillion rider faces accidental death or disablement when travelling on the insured bike.
