In the unfortunate event of an accident involving your insured bike, the process of claiming compensation from your insurance provider becomes crucial. This procedure, known as bike insurance claim settlement, involves several steps that need to be followed to effectively get the appropriate aid. Learn more about this in the following sections:

Types of Claim Settlement

When it comes to bike insurance claims, you can opt for either a cashless settlement or reimbursement, each with its own set of advantages.

  • Cashless Bike Insurance Claim
    If your insurer has an extensive network of garages, you can opt for a cashless claim. This allows you to get your two-wheeler repaired without upfront payment for servicing charges. However, it's essential to pay the chosen deductible at the time of policy purchase.

  • Reimbursement Bike Insurance Claim
    In situations where you prefer a specific garage not affiliated with your insurer, reimbursement claims come into play. Here, you pay the repair bill and later submit the necessary documents to your insurer. After review, the insurer reimburses the claimed amount, deducting the compulsory and voluntary deductible.

In case of Accidental Damages

  • Valid two-wheeler insurance policy

  • Copy of tax receipt and registration book

  • Copy of the police FIR

  • Driver’s licence at the time of the accident
