Types of Two-Wheeler Vehicle Insurance

Two-wheeler insurance covers you and your vehicle against damages or third-party liabilities. Let us look at the three types of bike insurance policies.

  • Own damage insurance: Own damage insurance protects you financially against damages caused to your bike due to accidents, fires, theft, and natural and man-made calamities.

  • Comprehensive insurance: Comprehensive insurance is a combination of both third-party and own damage insurance. It covers both third-party liabilities and damages caused to your vehicle but it comes at a higher premium cost.
