Two-wheeler insurance
Two-wheeler insurance is a type of insurance policy designed to provide financial protection to the owner of a two-wheeler vehicle (such as a motorcycle, scooter, or moped) against various risks such as accidents, theft, and damage to the vehicle.
There are two types of two-wheeler insurance policies:
- Third-party insurance: This is the minimum legal requirement for all two-wheeler vehicles in India. It covers the damages caused by the insured vehicle to a third party, including injury or death of the third party and damage to their property.
- Comprehensive insurance: This policy covers not only third-party liability but also damage to the insured vehicle, theft, and personal accident cover for the policyholder.
Two-wheeler insurance policies typically have a term of one year, after which they need to be renewed. The premium for the policy depends on factors such as the make and model of the vehicle, the age of the vehicle, and the location of the policyholder.
