What is Third-Party Bike Insurance?

Third-party bike insurance is the most basic type of two-wheeler insurance policy that helps cover any damage and losses your bike could cause to a third-party person, property, or vehicle, such as in the case of an accident or collision. This type of insurance focuses on third-party protection, ensuring that any liabilities arising from your bike’s involvement in an incident are taken care of.

Third-party two-wheeler insurance is mandated by law in India under the Motor Vehicles Act, making it an important and responsible choice for all bike owners. It is an affordable option that ensures legal compliance, and you can also compare two-wheeler insurance policies by Digit to find the most suitable one, such as Comprehensive Bike Insurance or Own Damage Cover, for broader protection.

Who Should Get Third-Party Two-Wheeler Insurance?

Weekend Rider

Upgrader

Nostalgic Owner

Ramesh, 25 Year Old Male

He rides his scooter to work every day but only takes his bike out once a month for long drives. For him, a third-party policy on the bike makes sense, it saves money and keeps him legally covered.

Priya, 27 Year Old Female

Her scooty’s insurance is up for renewal, but she’s planning to sell it soon and buy her dream bike. She opts for a third-party policy on the scooty to save on premiums while staying compliant.

Arjun, 29 Year Old Male

He has his grandfather’s old scooter parked at home, untouched for years. Even though he doesn’t ride it, he gets a third-party policy to avoid fines, it’s the law, after all.
