Bike Insurance in Kollam

The city of Kollam is an ancient seaport in Kerala. Apart from being a cashew processing and coir manufacturing hub, this city is a major tourist spot as it is the southern gateway to the Backwaters of Kerala.

Hence, it is quite normal to see many people visit this city throughout the year. Unfortunately, this puts increasing pressure on the roads of Kollam, and thus, accidents are a common sight. Moreover, rash driving, poor road conditions and improper traffic management make these roads susceptible to accidents.

Apart from providing financial cover for expenses incurred due to an accident, a bike insurance policy has other major roles to play. They are:

• Personal Accident Cover: Having a personal accident cover is necessary for every bike owner. Moreover, it is a mandatory extension that you have to take while purchasing a two-wheeler insurance policy. In case you suffer from bodily injuries or permanent disabilities due to an accident, this cover will ensure that your medical treatment goes on unhindered. Furthermore, even if the owner of the two-wheeler dies in the event of an accident, a personal accident cover provides financial compensation to his/her family.
• Choose Two-Wheeler Insurance Policy of Your Choice: Digit offers three types of two-wheeler insurance. Third-party bike insurance, which covers only third-party liabilities such as injury, death, or property damage. Own damage bike insurance, which covers loss and damage to your own bike, which may be caused due to accidents and collisions, natural calamities, fires, and thefts. This works as an added protection with the third-party bike insurance policy, and lastly, there's comprehensive bike insurance, which covers both own damage and third-party claims.

• Customise Your Policy With Add-Ons: When you opt for a comprehensive two-wheeler insurance plan, you get the option to enhance its coverage with the help of add-ons. These add-ons come at extra expenses and add to your policy premium. However, they provide you with a lot of benefits that prove beneficial in a variety of situations. For example, you can choose zero depreciation cover as an add-on. Usually, after an accident, a bike owner has to pay for the depreciation and the replacement of spare parts. However, we will cover all these expenses if you have this add-on. Furthermore, you can also opt for consumables cover. This add-on covers the cost of consumables like oil, nuts, bolts, etc., that may become unfit for use after an accident. If you have this add-on while claiming your policy, we will provide coverage for these expenses. In addition, we have more add-ons like engine and gearbox protect cover, roadside assistance, return to invoice cover, daily conveyance benefit, and tyre protect cover.
• Abiding by the Law: Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 states that it is mandatory for every vehicle owner to purchase a two-wheeler insurance cover. Thus, if you are caught riding your bike on the road without a valid two-wheeler insurance plan, you will face a penalty of ₹2,000. In case you repeat this offence, the penalty will increase to ₹4,000. In addition, the authorities may also punish you with a 3-month prison sentence and a suspension of your driving licence. Hence, apart from protecting you from financial loss due to an accident, having a bike insurance policy will save you from unnecessary legal problems.
