For added protection to your scooter and rides, you must choose comprehensive scooter insurance.
While third-party insurance is mandatory, comprehensive insurance is optional yet necessary. With a
comprehensive motor insurance plan, one can enjoy protection against not just third-party liabilities but also damages to one’s own scooter.*
The protection extends to damages due to fire, theft, certain natural disasters, and manmade calamities. What’s more, you can increase the scooter’s financial protection by opting for add-ons as well. To know the premium of such a plan, you can use a
bike insurance calculator.*
Claims are subject to terms and conditions set forth under motor insurance policy.
* Standard T&C apply.
Insurance is the subject matter of solicitation. For more details on benefits, exclusions, limitations, terms, and conditions, please read the sales brochure/policy wording carefully before concluding a sale.
