Premium is a major determining factor when choosing a bike insurance plan. After all, you always look for the right cost-benefit balance- a plan that gives you the best features and coverage at an affordable rate. Hence, before you buy or renew your policy, we recommend using our bike insurance premium calculator to determine the estimated premium you must pay depending on the plan and riders chosen.

Some of the factors that affect your TVS bike insurance price include:

• The type of coverage selected (comprehensive, third-party, or standalone)

• Age and geographical location of your two-wheeler

• Make and model of your TVS bike

• Engine type and cubic capacity of the vehicle

• Safety devices and modifications done to the bike

• No claim bonus discount on comprehensive insurance for bike

• Age and driving record of the insured

• Riders added

Besides the above factors, one more factor which hugely affects your premium is the Insured Declared Value. The IDV is an amount that reflects the vehicle's current market value. Suppose your bike suffers a total loss, is damaged beyond repair, or gets stolen — the insurance company will pay you the amount equal to the mentioned IDV. Hence, you must carefully select the IDV when purchasing or renewing your TVS bike insurance policy. Remember, the higher the IDV higher your premium will be.

Also, IDDV tends to reduce with time. Hence, the IDV mentioned in the previous year will typically be more than the current year.

Consider adding a rider to your existing bike insurance policy that will help expand your overall coverage.

- Depreciation Allowance: Depreciation of your bike is typically deducted from the claim amount, ultimately reducing the actual claim amount. This add-on covers repairing or replacing the damaged part without accounting for depreciation.

- Return-to-Invoice Cover: With this add-on, the difference between the insured declared value and the invoice value of the bike is covered.

- Emergency Medical Expenses: In case of an accident leading to injury, the emergency medical expenses add-n offers coverage for hospitalisation, surgery, and ambulance.

- Additional Personal Accident Cover for the Owner-Driver: With this add-on, the owner-rider gets personal accident cover ranging from ₹1 lakh to ₹15 lakhs. Thus, this rider gives adequate protection in case of accidental injury, disability, or death.

- Additional Third-Party Property Damage Cover: This rider provides additional coverage for third-party liability, including damage to a third-party person, vehicle or property.

- Consumables Expenses: This rider covers the cost of consumable items that must be replaced after the accident or repair. The consumable may cover engine oil, nuts and bolts, coolant etc.

- Roadside Assistance: If your bike breaks down, you get 24X7 immediate breakdown assistance and an on-the-spot repair facility with this add-on. Some services included under this rider plan include fuel delivery, battery jump-start, towing to the nearest garage, etc.

The inclusion and exclusions in the policy are critical aspects. They help you understand the plan better and reduce the chances of your claim getting rejected. Let us look at some of the critical things included and not included in Tata AIG's comprehensive bike insurance policy.
