Why is Bike Insurance Mandatory in India?
Whether it is a rural countryside or a jammed metropolitan city, two-wheelers are undoubtedly the most suitable means of personal transport in India. This is because two-wheelers help you to navigate as easily in the narrow roads of rural areas as in the congested roads of a busy metropolis like Mumbai, Bangalore, or Delhi. Further, two-wheelers are easily affordable for most people. In fact, even those who can’t afford to buy two-wheelers can now easily get loans to buy them from banks these days.
These factors, along with the growing capability and aspirations of the Indian middle class, have led to a spike in the popularity of two-wheelers in India, and hence a greater number of two-wheeler vehicles on the Indian roads than ever before.
With such an increased number of two-wheelers on the road, the risk of accidents has also gone up proportionately. In the same proportion, it has increased the need for bike insurance in India. Why and how? Let’s find out in this article.
Why Should You Get Your Two-Wheeler Insured?
While selling a brand-new two-wheeler, almost all motor companies offer bike insurance. However, most people either cancel the insurance to get some discount or they don’t renew it once it's expired. Maybe people want to save the bucks that are spent on the insurance, or they just don’t have the time to get their insurance renewed! However, the real reason behind this lackluster attitude towards bike insurance is that they don’t know the answer to the question, why should I even go for bike insurance?
Well, to put it in the right perspective, there can be two main motivations behind opting for some kind of insurance for your two-wheeler: one, it is a mandatory ‘by-law’ to get third-party insurance for all two-wheelers that run on the Indian roads. Two, insurance protects you, your vehicle, and the third party involved in an accident or mishap and also saves a lot of costs.
While at least a third-party insurance is required by law, it is strongly recommended to opt for a comprehensive two-wheeler insurance plan instead. A comprehensive policy additionally provides for your vehicle's own protection against accidents, thefts, natural disasters, etc. Apart from that, third-party injuries or property damages are also covered as part of the comprehensive insurance policy. A detailed comparison between both third-party insurance and comprehensive or standard insurance has been done below for you to choose wisely between the two.
