Factors That Impact Two-Wheeler Insurance Premium

How to Choose the Right Two Wheeler Insurance?

Customize your IDV

An IDV is the market value of your bike, including the charge of its depreciation and the value of the same will directly affect your bike insurance premium. Moreover, this also affects the compensation value you’ll receive during claims. So, make sure you always check if your IDV is stated correctly. At Digit, we believe in transparency and give you the option to customize your IDV.

Compare Bike Insurance Quotes

The biggest advantage you have of buying a bike insurance online is, that you can compare different bike insurance quotes. You can either do this on online insurance aggregators or by visiting different insurance provider websites. Make sure you compare important aspects such as your IDV, add-ons available, service benefits, reliability and of course, claim settlement ratios and processes!  

Service Benefits

A good bike insurance isn’t only about coverages and claims (although yes, that’s a huge part of it!) it’s also about the kind of service benefits you can avail through your respective service provider. For example; at Digit we offer services like Roadside assistance (which doesn’t count as a claim) which ensures we’re there for you even when you need us for the littlest of things. 

Know your Coverage

A good bike insurance should be able to cover you for the different things that you may need. That’s what the premium is for! Therefore, while choosing the right bike insurance, ensure you look at the coverage you receive and then decide if what you’re paying for is worth it or not.
