The calculation of the premium for a comprehensive bike insurance policy is done in the following ways:
The 'Insured Declared Value ' (IDV) of your bike is the maximum sum that your insurer can pay you in the event of the total loss of your bike, including irreparable damage and thefts. Your bike's IDV is obtained by adding its price with the cost of the relevant accessories.
The NCB discount is considered while computing your new bike insurance premium and any other discounts offered by the insurer. However, it is important to remember that the NCB discount only applies to the damage component of your bike insurance premium.
The third-party bike insurance cover is determined based on the bike's engine cubic capacity and following the annual insurance premium rates declared by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI).
Each add-on you include to your comprehensive bike insurance policy affects the overall bike insurance premium. Therefore, you must ascertain the cost of each add-on or the aggregate cost of all the selected add-ons.
The IDV of your bike is its market value after accounting for depreciation. Since no depreciation is accumulated on a new bike, the IDV of a new bike is higher than that of an old bike. Therefore, your bike's IDV is the highest sum an insurer can provide you in the case of irreparable damage or theft of the bike.
The age of your bike plays a vital role in determining a comprehensive bike insurance premium. Generally, new bikes have a higher premium as compared to old ones.
A bike engine’s cubic capacity affects the comprehensive bike insurance insurance premium. Higher the cubic capacity, higher will be the insurance premium. The type of bike model and class of the vehicle, place of registration, and fuel type, also play an integral role in determining the premium for comprehensive bike insurance policy.
Your comprehensive bike insurance premium is likely to be high if your bike has been registered in a metropolitan city or a high-risk and high-traffic area. On the other hand, bikes registered in remote towns and villages with a low incidence of road accidents tend to have a low bike insurance price.
The 'No Claim Bonus' in your comprehensive two-wheeler insurance policy is a reward for zero claims during a particular year. If you have an NCB accumulated on your bike insurance policy and do the timely renewal, you can avail a discount on your new bike insurance premium. For example, after the first claims-free year, you earn an NCB discount of 20%, and after five consecutive claim-free years, you are eligible for an NCB discount of 50%.
Here’s how to reduce comprehensive bike premium:
If you’re riding your bike safely following all traffic rules, your insured bike has less probability of having an accident. This will minimize the chance of raising bike insurance claims. Also, avoid raising claims for minor accidents. With this, you can earn a 'No Claim Bonus' and secure a discount of 20% on your comprehensive bike insurance policy renewal. The discount can go up to 50% if you don't file a bike insurance claim for five consecutive years.
You must choose the IDV of your bike carefully, since it directly affects your comprehensive bike insurance premium, and the amount you receive from your insurer in the event of total loss of your bike. Quoting a lower IDV will reduce your bike insurance coverage, whereas quoting a higher one will lead to a higher-than-necessary bike insurance premium. Therefore, it is essential to fix the accurate IDV for your bike.
Choosing add-on covers in your comprehensive bike insurance policy wisely is important. Each add-on carries a price that increases your bike insurance premium. Therefore, assessing your bike insurance requirements is pivotal before selecting the necessary add-ons. Using our bike insurance calculator, you can determine the impact of each add-on feature on your bike insurance premium.
Ensure that you renew your comprehensive bike insurance policy at least a few weeks before the expiration of the policy. This approach ensures you do not lose the ‘No Claim Bonus’ accumulated on your previous policy. It also gives you sufficient time to re-evaluate the add-ons you want to include in your new policy.
The premium you must pay is one of the critical elements that will influence the sort of bike insurance plan you select. You can use a premium calculator, a simple tool, to calculate the actual premium you will have to pay for the two -wheeler insurance policy of your choice.
Here's how to use a comprehensive two -wheeler insurance calculator to figure out your bike insurance premium:
