Two wheeler insurance is mandatory in India as per the Motor Vehicles Act. Riding your motor cycle without a valid insurance will cause legal troubles and you may end up paying heavy penalties. Hence, to ensure a worry free ride it’s mandatory to buy a third party liability only policy. Although third party liability is a mandatory policy which protects third party property and person, it’s highly advisable to buy a comprehensive motor insurance plan for all round coverage. A third party plan is considerably cheap, but it isn’t a sufficient cover for your bike. For instances such as natural calamities, war break out or accidental damage of your own vehicle, a comprehensive two wheeler policy covers losses totally with voluntary deductibles. This policy covers third party liability, own damage cover and personal accident. Although buying a comprehensive cover might pinch your pocket, but it’s worth the investment.
