What two-wheeler insurance generally is
A two-wheeler policy is a contract with an insurer covering the motorcycle or scooter described in it. The policy wording decides what is covered, what is excluded and how any claim is handled. The cover available to you depends on the vehicle, its registration and its actual permitted use.
Who this route is for
This route applies where the vehicle to be insured is a motorcycle, scooter or other applicable two-wheeler.
- Owners of a motorcycle or scooter used for personal, family or commuting purposes
- First-time two-wheeler owners who want the cover structures explained before deciding
- Existing policyholders who want renewal and add-on terminology explained
Personal / Private use
This route is for two-wheelers in personal and private use. Naming a use on this website does not confirm eligibility for any specific product.
- Personal / Private — motorcycles and scooters used primarily for personal, family, commuting or permitted private purposes.
- A two-wheeler used for business or delivery work is classified differently, and this route does not cover it.
- The final classification depends on the RC classification, actual permitted use, the applicable insurer, underwriting and the product terms.

Optional
Optional add-ons commonly discussed
Add-ons are optional and subordinate to the base cover. One applies only where the insurer offers it, it is selected, it is charged and it is recorded on the policy.
Zero / Nil Depreciation
Where offered, it changes how depreciation is applied to covered part replacement in an own-damage claim.
Roadside Assistance
Where offered, it provides defined on-road support services within the insurer's stated scope and limits.
Engine Protection
Where offered, it extends cover to specified engine-related damage that the base policy would not address.
Return to Invoice
Where offered, it changes the basis of settlement in a total-loss or theft claim, subject to the insurer's conditions.
Consumables
Where offered, it covers specified consumable items used during a covered repair, as listed by the insurer.
NCB Protection
Where offered, it changes how the No Claim Bonus is treated after a permitted number of claims, subject to conditions.
Important terms
Use has to match the registration
A vehicle used differently from what its registration and policy permit can affect how a claim is treated. Where the use changes, the insurer should be told.
Add-ons are not automatic
An add-on applies only where the insurer offers it, it is selected, it is charged and it is recorded on the policy.
Owner-driver personal accident cover is separate
This is accident-related protection for the eligible owner-driver, subject to the applicable policy, eligibility requirements and terms. It is not cover for damage to the vehicle.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a comprehensive policy means that every possible loss is covered
- Using a privately registered two-wheeler for commercial delivery work without telling the insurer
- Letting the policy lapse and assuming the same terms will be offered at renewal
- Assuming an add-on applies when it was never selected or charged

FAQs
Two-Wheeler questions
Personal or private use generally covers commuting, family and other permitted private purposes. A two-wheeler used for business purposes such as delivery work is classified differently and is not part of this route. Which classification applies depends on the vehicle's registration and how it is actually used, and it is confirmed by the applicable insurer, not by this website.
A liability-only structure is one of the available cover structures. Whether it is suitable depends on your circumstances, because it does not address loss of or damage to your own vehicle. The exact terms are set by the applicable policy wording and applicable law.
Some insurers offer add-ons on two-wheeler policies. Availability depends on the insurer, the product, the vehicle and the cover structure chosen. An add-on applies only where it is offered, selected, charged and recorded on the policy.
