Zero Depreciation Bike Insurance

Zero Depreciation Bike Insurance Cover

Zero depreciation bike insurance means that the insurer does not consider the bike's or the scooter's depreciation. Your bike's Insured Declared Value (IDV) is as good as a new vehicle. A zero depreciation bike insurance offers comprehensive insurance on the bike without considering the depreciation of the bike/scooter. If your vehicle gets damaged due to an unforeseen event like fire, theft, storm, earthquake, etc., you will get the repair amount without considering any bike depreciation. To sum it up, zero dep insurance for bikes ensures a better claim for the bike's damages and reduces your out-of-pocket expenses to a minimum.

Before we get to zero depreciation bike insurance, we should first understand what depreciation in bike insurance means. This depreciation means that the value of the parts on your bike is reducing with time. When you buy a new bike for, let's say, Rs 1 Lakh, the bike's value after two years might be Rs 70,000. But with a zero depreciation bike insurance cover, the bike's value will not reduce over time, and you will get the entire claim amount as if the bikes were new.

Types of Bike Insurance Plans

There are three main types of two-wheeler insurance coverage. You should select the option most appropriate to your needs: -

1
Third-party cover-
Third party bike insurance is applicable when your bike meets with an accident and you cause some damage to a 3rd party. Any damage to the 3rd party vehicle and the 3rd party injury will be covered with a third-party cover. As per the Motor Vehicles Act, this cover is compulsory for driving on Indian roads. Also, the IDV amount is not relevant.
2
Standalone own damage cover
It covers the damages to your own vehicle. All the damages of theft, natural and manmade calamities, total damage, accident, etc. are covered. Although not compulsory, if you want to insure your vehicle against damage, you need a standalone cover the vehicle.
3
Comprehensive
Comprehensive bike insurance, as the name suggests, is a combination of 3rd party cover and own damage insurance for bike. The cost is optimized as it has the cover for both standalone and 3rd party cover. If you want the best insurance, it is better to buy comprehensive insurance. It ensures that your vehicle and the other vehicles on the road are protected against damage, and you do not need to shell out a huge amount of money.

Benefits of Zero Depreciation Bike Insurance Policy

Some of the benefits of zero dep insurance for bike are:-
1. Maximize the claim amount after factoring in the compulsory deductibles.
2. Minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
3. Extra cover on your existing policy.
4. Save money on your insurance.
5. Don't worry about lower claim amounts.
6. Even expensive spare parts will be covered, and if your bike is a premium bike, zero depreciation bike insurance will get you the maximum claim amount for your expensive spare parts.
You should read the insurance documents carefully to understand all the inclusions and exclusions. But generally speaking, zero depreciation bike insurance provides higher claim eligibility as your IDV value increases.
