Getting a two-wheeler insurance policy for your second-hand bike offers you the same protection as that of new bike insurance. With a valid insurance policy, you are protected from damages to the third-party or overall damages based on the type of insurance you have chosen. You can file a claim if the damages are caused due to an accident, natural calamities or other reasons such as theft or strike.
If your vehicle experiences some kind of damage due to an unfortunate incident, you can file a claim for the cost of repairing the damage. You can even go to your insurance company’s network garages where you will be eligible to get cashless claim facilities. This makes the entire process of filing a claim and getting your two-wheeler repaired so much easier.
Most of the two-wheeler insurance includes a personal accident cover which protects the insured person against any injuries caused. This cover is extremely helpful as it provides the financial support you need in times of an emergency.
