What is two-wheeler insurance?
Two-wheeler insurance covers your bike or scooter against damage, theft, and third-party liability. Third-party insurance is mandatory by law for every two-wheeler on Indian roads. The fine for riding without insurance is ₹2,000 for first offense and ₹4,000 for repeat.
- Mandatory by law: Third-party liability insurance required for all two-wheelers
- Theft protection: Two-wheelers are the most stolen vehicles — insurance covers replacement
- Accident cover: Repair costs for own damage + third-party injury/property damage
- Affordable: Comprehensive coverage starts from ₹1,500-2,000/year for most bikes
What you might need
New bike/scooter?
Comprehensive insurance comes bundled with purchase. At renewal in year 2, we compare insurers to find better pricing. Don't auto-renew with the dealer's insurer.
Renewal due?
Check if NCB is applied correctly and if you need to switch to a better insurer. If expired, we handle break-in inspection and renewal.
Accident or theft?
We guide you through FIR filing, surveyor coordination, and claim documentation. Most two-wheeler claims are straightforward when documented properly.
Common problems people face
Riding without valid insurance
Many two-wheeler owners let insurance lapse. If caught: ₹2,000-4,000 fine. If accident: you're personally liable for all damages, injuries, and legal costs.
Only third-party, no own damage
Third-party only costs ₹482, but if your ₹1.5 lakh bike gets stolen or damaged, you get nothing. Comprehensive coverage is ₹1,500-2,000 more but covers everything.
Claim rejected — pillion without helmet
If pillion rider is injured without a helmet, the claim for their injuries can be denied. We educate on these exclusions upfront.
Modified bike — insurance void
Aftermarket modifications (exhaust, engine tuning) not declared in policy = claim rejection. We ensure modifications are declared if applicable.
Where you buy doesn't change the premium — but it changes the experience
Two-wheeler premium is IRDAI-regulated. Whether you buy from PolicyBazaar, directly from insurer, or through us — the base price is identical. The difference is service.

How we handle bike insurance differently
Most two-wheeler owners buy insurance and forget about it until something goes wrong. We make sure your policy actually works when you need it.
1
RC + previous policy check
We verify registration details, previous insurer, NCB status, and any modifications before issuing the policy.
2
Right coverage recommendation
For bikes under 5 years: comprehensive + zero dep. For commuters: add RSA. For old bikes: evaluate if comprehensive is worth it based on bike value.
3
Multi-insurer comparison
We compare quotes from New India, United India, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz and more — find the best deal for your specific bike.
4
Renewal reminders
We send reminders 30 days before expiry so you never ride uninsured. If expired, we handle break-in renewal with insurer inspection.
Coverage types explained
Two-wheeler insurance claim process
Most bike claims are simpler than car claims, but the documentation steps are the same. Here's what to do.
1
Inform insurer within 24 hours
Call the insurer helpline or call us immediately. For theft, also file FIR within 24 hours.
2
Take photos
Multiple angles of the damage, road scene, other vehicle (if involved). These are critical for claim approval.
3
File FIR (if needed)
For theft, third-party injury, or major accidents — FIR from nearest police station is mandatory.
4
Surveyor assessment
Insurer sends surveyor to assess damage. For minor claims, photo-based assessment may be accepted.
5
Repair and settlement
Cashless at network garage or reimbursement after repair. Typical timeline: 5-10 days for minor, 15-30 days for major.
Our role at each step:
We coordinate the entire claim process — from FIR to settlement. For two-wheeler claims, most can be resolved within a week with proper documentation.
Documents you'll need
- RC (Registration Certificate)
- Previous/current insurance policy copy
- Driving license of rider
- FIR copy (for theft or accident with injury)
- Photos of damage
- Repair estimate from authorized service center
What affects your premium
- Engine CC (higher CC = higher premium)
- Bike age and model
- IDV (Insured Declared Value)
- NCB discount (up to 50% for claim-free years)
- Add-ons (zero dep, RSA, accessories cover)
- City of registration
- Previous claim history
Still wondering?
Common questions before reaching out.
My bike insurance expired 3 months ago — can I still renew?
Yes, through a break-in renewal process. The insurer will require a physical inspection of the bike. We arrange this and complete the renewal — usually done within 2-3 days.
Is comprehensive insurance worth it for a ₹60,000 bike?
Yes, for bikes under 7-8 years. The premium difference between TP-only and comprehensive is just ₹800-1,500. That covers theft (very common for two-wheelers) and own damage.
Does my insurance cover me if I'm riding in another state?
Yes, motor insurance is valid across India. No separate state-level insurance needed.

Frequently asked questions
Questions people ask
What is the cheapest bike insurance? Third-party only starts from ₹482/year. But comprehensive (which adds own damage + theft cover) is only ₹1,500-2,500/year. We recommend comprehensive for the small additional cost.
Can I buy bike insurance for 5 years? Yes, long-term policies (1+5 year bundled) are available. Third-party is fixed for 5 years upfront. We compare both annual and long-term options to find the best deal.
What is the penalty for riding without insurance? First offense: ₹2,000 fine and/or 3 months imprisonment. Repeat offense: ₹4,000 and/or 3 months. Plus, you're personally liable for any accident damages — which can run into lakhs.
Does bike insurance cover accessories? Standard policies don't cover accessories (leg guard, carrier, GPS, alloy wheels). You need an accessories cover add-on. We include this if you have significant aftermarket additions.
How do I transfer bike insurance to a new owner? When selling your bike, insurance should be transferred to the buyer within 14 days. We help with the transfer paperwork and ensure both parties are covered during transition.
