Bike insurance or two-wheeler insurance is a protective plan that covers financial losses in case your bike gets damaged in an accident, stolen, or affected by natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, or fire. It also includes third-party liability coverage, meaning if your bike accidentally causes harm to someone or damages their property, the insurance will cover the expenses.
Having bike insurance is also legally required in India. Riding without at least a third-party bike insurance policy can lead to penalties, fines, or even legal trouble. With Zurich Kotak General Insurance, you get a reliable two-wheeler insurance policy that provides extensive coverage, so you can ride stress-free.

How to save on Bike Insurance premium
Getting bike insurance is important, but paying high premiums isn’t necessary! There are several ways to reduce your two-wheeler insurance costs without compromising on coverage.
Choose the Two-Wheeler Type Wisely
The cost of your bike insurance depends on the type of bike you own.
• High-performance bikes have higher bike insurance premiums due to their higher risk of accidents and expensive repairs.
• Commuter bikes and scooters have lower bike insurance costs since they are easier and cheaper to maintain.
If you want affordable bike insurance, opt for a two-wheeler with a balance of power and economy.
Know Your Two-Wheeler’s Correct Value
Before purchasing two-wheeler insurance, it's crucial to know your bike’s Insured Declared Value (IDV).
• A higher IDV means better coverage but a slightly higher premium.
• A lower IDV reduces your two-wheeler insurance premium but may leave you underinsured.
Always select the right IDV to ensure fair compensation in case of bike insurance claims.
Opt for Voluntary Deductible
A voluntary deductible is the amount you agree to pay out-of-pocket before your bike insurance company covers the rest.
• Choosing a higher voluntary deductible lowers your bike insurance premium.
• However, ensure that you pick an amount you can comfortably afford during a claim.
This is a smart way to reduce bike insurance costs without losing out on essential benefits.
Use Your NCB Discount
No Claim Bonus (NCB) is a reward for safe riders who do not file claims.
• If you don’t file a bike insurance claim for a year, you get a discount on your renewal premium.
• The longer you ride claim-free, the bigger the NCB discount (up to 50% after five claim-free years).
Safe riding leads to lower bike insurance renewal costs and greater savings.
Renew Your Policy on Time
If you fail to renew your bike insurance on time:
• You lose your NCB discount.
• Your bike remains uninsured, making it illegal to ride.
• Some insurers may increase your premium if there’s a gap in coverage.
Always set a reminder to renew your bike insurance on time to avoid extra costs.
Install Anti-Theft Devices
Bikes equipped with anti-theft devices are at a lower risk of being stolen, which means lower bike insurance premiums!
• Zurich Kotak General Insurance offer discounts on bike insurance if your bike has security features like:
✅ GPS trackers
✅ Disc locks
✅ Alarms and immobilizers
Ensure your anti-theft device is certified by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) to qualify for the bike insurance discount.
Choose only the required add-ons
You may need to provide proof of your residential address. Accepted documents may include utility bills (electricity, water, gas), bank statements or a rental agreement.
Look for discounts
Comprehensive bike insurance plans offer discounts like installing safety devices, AAI membership, and choosing a voluntary deductible to reduce your premium.
