Why is It Important to Insure a Second-Hand Bike?

Things to Check Before You Buy a Second-Hand Bike

Things to Check Before You Buy a Second-Hand Bike

A wise man does not buy or choose anything without analyzing its benefits/features, and when it is a second-hand bike, you need to be dead sure about it. Here are a few things you need to check before buying a second-hand bike:

  • Physically Inspect the Bike: Look at the bike carefully and do some research for things you’ve observed. Keep your eyes open and your intuitive sense active. Find out whether there are any scratches or signs of a hit.
  • Check for Unusual Noise: Start the bike and check whether it makes any noise at the time of idling and acceleration. Other than these, you should check the indicator, lights, and horns for sounds.
  • Verify All the Documents: Check whether the RC has the same identification number as mentioned on the engine. Any discrepancy will create trouble when you make a claim.
  • Know the Service Details: You should ask the owner of the bike about the frequency of the service and the center where it was done.
  • Do Take a Test Ride: Make sure you take the bike for a test drive. Choose a bumpy road on which you can best evaluate the performance of the bike. Its suspension and brakes will show their play.

In the case of a Third-Party or Liability Only Bike Policy, damages to own vehicle won’t be covered. 

drink and drive icon

Your bike insurance won’t cover for you in situations where you were riding drunk or without a valid two-wheeler licence.

Add-On Covers with Second-hand Bike Insurance by Digit

Apart from the basic comprehensive bike insurance, it is advisable to extend the coverage if possible. Some of the add-on covers that can be chosen are:

Daily Conveyance Benefit

Daily Conveyance Benefit

The add-on cover of daily conveyance benefit will ensure that you are compensated for your transportation cost during the period when the second-hand two-wheeler is under repair, subject to applicable time excess. A policyholder can be compensated in the form of a fixed allowance per day or coupons from taxi operators for an amount equal to the per-day fixed allowance.

Engine & Gearbox Protection Cover

Engine & Gearbox Protection Cover

Do you know that the cost of replacing your engine is approximately 40% of its cost? In a standard secon-hand two-wheeler insurance policy, only damages caused during the accident are covered. However, with the engine and gearbox protection add-on cover, you can specifically cover the life of your used vehicle for any consequential damages caused post the accident.

Tyre Protect

Tyre Protect

The tyre protect add-on cover is offered only to vehicles fitted with run-flat technology. As part of it, the cost of replacing damaged tyres with ones equivalent or near equivalent to the ones being used in the vehicle, labour and wheel balancing charges can be reimbursed. However, claims made under the add-on cover are subject to conditions set forth under the vehicle insurance policy.

Consumable Cover icon

Consumable Cover

The add-on of consumable cover adds an additional shield to your used two-wheeler. Covers the cost for all your second-hand bike’s nitty-gritties, such as the engine oils, screws, nuts and bolts, grease, etc., in the event of an accident.

Return to Invoice Cover

Return to Invoice Cover

If you fall into a situation where your used bike is stolen or damaged beyond repair, this add-on comes in handy. With return to invoice add-on, we will cover the costs of getting you the same, or similar bike, including the road tax and registration fees for the same

EV Shield Add-on Cover

EV Shield Add-on Cover

This EV Shield add-on cover for electric two wheeler in India will protect you and your used vehicle against any loss or damage to the electrical panel for the vehicle charging point and the vehicle charger, including the charging cable, and offer roadside assistance services specific to EVs.

Zero Depreciation Cover

Zero Depreciation Cover

Think of it like an effective anti-aging cream for your second-hand bike and its parts. Usually, the required depreciation amount is always taken into account during claims. However, a zero-depreciation cover ensures no depreciation is taken into consideration, so you get the full value of the cost of repair/replacement during claims.

Breakdown Assistance

Breakdown Assistance

The roadside assistance add-on ensures we’ll always be there for you and your used two-wheeler in case of any breakdowns. The best part? Asking for our help doesn’t even count as a claim.

Some accidents are fatal. Earlier under the Comprehensive Insurance Policy, only the owner was covered. Later, the policy was enhanced by adding the safety cover for the pillion rider also. IRDA has made provision for the pillion rider to be covered under the Third Party Liability Policy. In case of an accident, the pillion rider will be covered for a sum of Rs. 3 lakhs. And in case the pillion rider dies, the next of kin will be compensated Rs. 5 lakhs.

What is the Process of Getting Used Bike Insurance Online?

What is the Process of Getting Used Bike Insurance Online?

Consider you bought a Royal Enfield Bullet, more than 10 years old, from your close friend. You have a passion for bike rides, but before you start to use it, you want insurance cover for the same.

It is good that you are being wise and choosing safety over challenges. But the procedure to procure the insurance policy when you are buying a second-hand bike is completely different. For that, you can choose either of the two:

  • Continue with Same Insurer: You can continue with the existing insurance with a request for the change of name in the policy. The insurance company will issue an endorsement to you. You will have to produce the proof of transfer of ownership.
  • Switch to New Insurer: You can ask for the new policy from the insurer of your own choice. In this case, a survey will be arranged for the bike post which the policy will be issued.

How to Transfer Bike Insurance?
