Third-Party Bike Insurance
A third-party bike insurance policy covers you for damages caused to another person in the form of injuries, property damage and resulting losses. It is also legally mandated under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. If you are caught riding your bike without valid third-party bike Insurance, you will have to pay fines of ₹2,000 - ₹4,000 or even face up to 3 months of imprisonment.
Sometimes, even the most careful riders can find themselves in unexpected situations like accidentally causing damage to someone else’s vehicle. A third-party bike insurance plan helps take care of such situations by covering the cost of damage to the other person’s vehicle, so you’re not caught off guard financially.

Our fully online Bike Insurance buying and renewal process not only ensures that you always stay covered but also offers flexibility to upgrade to a comprehensive plan when needed.
