Two Wheeler Insurance:
What is Two Wheeler Insurance?
A two-wheeler insurance policy covers you financially against damages to your bike or scooter and injuries sustained by you due to unforeseen events such as accidents, thefts or natural disasters. Bike insurance policies also cover you against financial liabilities arising out of injuries or damages caused to third-parties in an accident. The costs involved can make a major dent in your finances. Two wheeler insurance policies provide financial protection against such setbacks.
Why do you need Two Wheeler Insurance?
While two-wheelers offer convenience, comfort, and freedom, they are also one of the most unsafe modes of transport, accounting for a majority of the accidents and fatalities on the road. Accidents can wreck your asset and injure you or cause injuries to others on the road, potentially leading to huge financial losses. It is, therefore, important to protect yourself and your asset. Two wheeler insurance does just that.
Two wheeler insurance policies generally provide two kinds of covers:
- Cover against damage to the vehicle or the rider due to unforeseen events
- Cover against financial liability arising out of injuries caused to third parties in an accident
Bajaj Allianz's comprehensive two wheeler insurance policy provides coverage in both the scenarios.

What your bike insurance policy covers:
A Bajaj Allianz two wheeler insurance policy provides coverage against the following:
- Loss or damage due to natural calamities: Your bike insurance policy covers fire, explosion, self-ignition or lightning, earthquake, flood, typhoon, hurricane, storm, tempest, inundation, cyclone, hailstorm, frost, landslide and rockslide.

Further, any damage in transit via rail, road, inland waterway, lift, elevator or air is also covered by the insurance policy.

It covers accidents that may occur while driving the vehicle, traveling on it and mounting or dismounting from it. You can also add personal accident cover for a pillion rider with this policy.
- Third Party Legal Liability: Bajaj Allianz two wheeler insurance covers liability to third parties. This covers any damage, loss, death or bodily harm caused to another person or property by the insured vehicle. This is mandatory as per the law in India.
