How to Reduce Your Comprehensive Bike Insurance Premium?

How to Reduce Your Comprehensive Bike Insurance Premium?
  • Choose Your Insurance Coverage Wisely: Get comprehensive insurance for two-wheelers only if it feels necessary or if you want enhanced protection for your luxury bike, as it comes with an increased premium. However, if you only want to comply with the laws and want a more affordable insurance policy, consider third-party insurance.
  • Maintain a Good Driving Record: A clean driving record with no claims in the previous year can get you a discount on the next premium as No Claim Bonus (NCB). You could also consider increasing your voluntary deductible, which will help in decreasing your bike insurance premium.
  • Buy Only Relevant Add-Ons: Add-ons provide an extra layer of protection to your bike, but they also increase your bike insurance premium. Therefore, only opt for bike insurance add-on covers that you truly need.
  • Set Realistic IDV: Never overestimate your bike's IDV, and aim for an IDV that truly aligns with your bike's current market value. This is because a higher IDV means a higher premium for you.
  • Talk to Your Insurer: Depending on your insurance company and your risk profile, you can always talk it out with them and ask for some negotiation on the premium!

Importance of IDV When Choosing a Comprehensive Bike Insurance Policy

Insured Declared Value
IDV is Insured Declared Value, it is the maximum amount your insurer will give you, in case your bike is stolen or damaged beyond repair. We know low premiums are luring but it will not give you maximum financial benefit. Always check the IDV you are being offered and not just the premium. We suggest you choose higher IDV, you know why? In the case of the total loss of your bike, a higher IDV leads to higher reimbursements. We let you customise your IDV as per your choice because we want you to make the right decision without any compromise.
