Own-Damage Bike Insurance
Own-Damage Bike Insurance, also known as a Standalone Own Damage (SAOD) policy, is a dedicated insurance policy that covers your bike or scooter in the event of damage or loss. For example, it will cover repair costs due to accidents, collisions, natural disasters, fires and bike theft. An SAOD policy is an optional cover that can be purchased separately if you already possess a third-party bike insurance policy, according to IRDAI regulations effective from September 1, 2019.
For instance, if you purchase a new bike or scooter from a dealership, the dealer will typically provide you with a 1-year Own Damage policy along with 5 years of Third-Party insurance in accordance with IRDAI guidelines from August 2020. While your Third-party insurance remains valid, after the first year of your policy, you have the option to buy our SAOD plan to ensure your bike stays covered.
IndusInd own-damage bike insurance (formerly Reliance own-damage bike insurance) offers coverage starting at just ₹19 per month*. Under our plan, you can enhance coverage with 15+ add-ons, including zero depreciation and engine protector, while enjoying quick claims!

Benefits of Own-Damage Bike Insurance
Covers Damage to Your Two-Wheeler
Own-damage bike insurance covers damages caused to your bike that a third-party insurance doesn’t pay for during an accident. If you bought your vehicle after 2019 and it is less than 5 years old, this is the policy you need, even if you already have third-party cover offered by your dealership.
Instant Mobile Self Survey
Raising a claim after an accident can be stressful! With the IndusInd Insurance App, you get instant claim registration for your Own Damage policy, along with video-based inspection initiated through your mobile.

Affordable Premiums
Imagine having the flexibility to buy your two-wheeler policy for only the time you ride your bike or scooter!

You can also go for long-term plans and still get discounts*.
Extended Protection with Add-Ons
We offer 15+ add-ons* under your plan to help reduce out-of-pocket costs. By choosing covers such as zero depreciation, engine protection and key replacement, you get enhanced protection for your bike or scooter. You can even tweak the insured value of your bike to suit your budget.
Personal Accident Cover
You can now get a Personal Accident (PA) cover of ₹15 lakhs* with your SAOD bike insurance, as mandated by IRDAI, in case you do not have any other personal accident policy of similar value. This will help cover any medical costs you may incur for treating injuries sustained in an accident.

Factors to Consider when you Buy/Renew OD Insurance Online
Choose the Right Policy Duration
Our Standalone Own Damage Insurance comes with the flexibility of choosing your policy tenure, whether it is for a few months or 5 years*, you can pick an annual, short-term or multi-year OD policy based on your needs. A long-term plan saves you from yearly renewals and premium hikes. A short-term plan offers temporary, affordable coverage.
Adjust the IDV Smartly
Your Insured Declared Value (IDV) is the current market value of your two-wheeler that you get when your vehicle is irreparably damaged or stolen. Your choice of IDV directly affects the premium charged, so it is advisable to keep it at an optimal level to achieve an affordable premium without a significant loss in value during claims.
Check Available Add-Ons
Our 15+ bike insurance add-ons offer comprehensive benefits along with maximum coverage. Choose from add-ons like nil dep, engine protect, helmet cover, and more for comprehensive protection for your bike or scooter.
Highest Partner Garages
An unforeseen incident can occur at any time! No matter where your bike or scooter breaks down in India, our 11,000+ partner garages* ensure you have access to cashless repair services without paying a penny.
Add-ons Available with IndusInd Own-Damage Bike Insurance
Extend the coverage of your own-damage bike insurance by adding these optional add-on covers. Each add-on gives you extra protection and reduces the amount you may have to spend from your pocket after a mishap.
Nil Depreciation Cover
Money Saver
Popularly known as Bumper to Bumper, this add-on ensures that at the time of a claim, you get full claim amount for replaced parts like plastic, rubber and fibre without any deduction for depreciation. It typically covers up to two claims a year.
Engine Protection Cover
Extra Scooter Protection
Engine repairs can be expensive following an accident. This add-on cover addresses damages resulting from engine failures, oil leakages, water ingression, hydro lock, and more, which are typically not included in your standard insurance policy.
Helmet Cover
Extra Scooter Protection
If your helmet gets stolen or damaged in an accident, we reimburse you for its replacement. A valuable add-on since helmets are both costly and legally mandatory. This way, you stay safe while on the road.
Key Replacement Cover
Extra Scooter Protection
If your bike keys or lockset are lost, stolen or damaged, this add-on covers the cost of replacing or repairing them. It also covers digital keysets since most modern bikes do come with them.
Tyre Protection Cover
Extra Scooter Protection
This add-on covers cost for repairs or replacement if they burst, bulge or get cut due to impact or road conditions. Given how expensive tyre replacement is, this add-on is a must for two-wheeler owners.
NCB Retention Cover
Money Saver
If you have built up a No Claim Bonus over time, this add-on cover lets you keep that discount even after filing a claim. This is applicable for up to one claim in a policy year and helps you retain discounts on renewal premiums.
Consumables Cover
Money Saver
The cost of consumable replacements or additions during repairs can add up and increase your repair bill! After an accident, you may need to replace the engine oil, nuts, bolts, and brake fluid on your bike. This add-on helps cover the cost of such consumables, which are usually excluded from standard plans.
EMI Protection Cover
Money Saver
If your bike is undergoing repairs in an authorised garage for more than 21, 42, or 63 days* due to major damage after an accident, this add-on cover pays up to three of your bike loan EMIs so that your loan doesn’t become a financial stress. A useful cover if you're still paying off your bike loans.
Daily Allowance Benefit
Money Saver
If your bike or scooter has been under repair in a network garage for more than 2 days, this cover gives you a fixed daily allowance* to help you pay for alternative transport until your bike is back on the road. The amount is decided based on your policy SI and the value of your vehicle.
Return to Invoice (RTI)
Money Saver
Get your bike’s original invoice price if your bike is stolen and not found or is declared a total loss after a major accident. We will also refund one-time registration charges, road tax and insurance costs, making this cover a great addition to your bike insurance policy.
Rim Protector
Money Saver
The rim damage add-on is designed to help when your bike's wheel rims are accidentally damaged, making them unfit for use. This cover pays for the repair or replacement of damaged rim(s), labour charges, wheel alignment and balancing and consumables.
Hospital Cash Cover
Money Saver
You get a daily payout if you are hospitalised for over 24 hours due to injuries from an accident. The coverage kicks in when your hospital stay or admission lasts more than 7 days, and you will receive an additional amount for recovery.
Two-Wheeler Assistance
This is a 24/7 roadside assistance add-on that helps if your bike breaks down, has a flat tyre, runs out of fuel or gets locked in a remote location with no garages nearby. It covers towing, on-site repairs, fuel delivery and more, so help is always there when you need it.
Voluntary Deductible
Money Saver
If you choose a voluntary deductible (an amount you agree to pay from each claim before we cover the rest), your premium is reduced. But remember, for every claim (even if your bike is a total loss), you have to pay this amount first before your insurance coverage kicks in.
E-Bike Battery Protect
EV Bike Protection
It helps cover the cost of repairs or replacement of your EV bike's battery if it is damaged by events such as power surges, water entering the engine, or accidents. This can be a useful add-on since the battery is the most expensive part of an EV bike.
Electric Motor Protect
EV Bike Protection
The Electric Vehicle Electric Motor Cover provides financial support for repairs or replacement of the electric motor, differential or transmission units of your EV bike in case they get damaged due to water getting into the electric motor or oil leakage.
Electric Bike Charger
EV Bike Protection
If your electric bike's charger and its parts, like cables and adapters, get damaged by things like fire, flooding, power surges or accidents, the electric vehicle charger add-on covers the expenses for the repairs or replacement of the charging unit.

Difference Between Own Damage (OD) and Comprehensive Insurance
The difference between own-damage insurance and comprehensive bike insurance is in their coverage.
Own-damage (OD) bike insurance covers damage to your own two-wheeler due to accidents, theft, fire, or natural calamities. It does not cover third-party liabilities.
On the other hand, comprehensive bike insurance includes both own damage and third-party cover in one policy, offering broader protection.
Here is a quick comparison:
Parameters | Own-Damage Bike Insurance | Comprehensive Bike Insurance |
|---|---|---|
Scope of Coverage | Covers damage to your own bike due to accidents, natural calamities, fire and theft. | Covers own damage plus third-party liability in a single policy for complete protection. |
Third-Party Damage | Not included. Requires a separate third-party policy to meet legal and regulatory needs. | Included by default. Covers injury, death, or property damage caused to third parties. |
Cost | Lower premium. Must be paired with a third-party plan for complete legal compliance. | Higher premium as it combines both own damage and third-party coverage benefits. |

Add-Ons | Includes a limited set of optional add-on covers and benefits. | Offers broader customisation with a wide range of valuable add-ons for extra protection. |

Who Should Buy Own-Damage Insurance for Two-Wheelers?
How Is Own-Damage Bike Insurance Premium Calculated?
Vehicle-Related Factors
Several vehicle-specific factors affect how own damage insurance two-wheeler premium is calculated. These include your bike’s Insured Declared Value (IDV), which reflects its current market worth. Other factors include the age of the bike, make and model, fuel type, registration zone, and whether it is used for personal or commercial purposes.
Policy-Related Factors
The OD insurance for bike premiums also depends on policy-related choices. A short-term policy usually costs less than a long-term one. Premium also varies based on selected add-ons, the amount of voluntary deductible, No Claim Bonus (NCB) earned from previous years, and your past claim history.
How You Can Reduce Your OD Insurance Premium
To lower your premium, maintain a claim-free record and accumulate NCB. Opt for an IDV that balances value and cost, and only choose essential add-ons. Installing anti-theft devices certified by ARAI and avoiding frequent small claims can further reduce your costs while maintaining your protection.
