Hero Duet is a well-built scooter with decent features and can run smoothly for years if you maintain it well. However, the risk of accidents and injuries are very high on two-wheelers compared to cars. Even if you drive very carefully, bad roads or other drivers can cause accidents. Moreover, the cost of repairing your Hero Duet can be anywhere between ₹2,000 to ₹20,000 or more depending on the extent of the damage. Hence, having a strong insurance plan like comprehensive insurance in place can be an excellent financial protection tool and save you from repair and medical expenses. Moreover, you need to mandatorily have at least third-party insurance for your vehicle, as per the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

Let’s take a look at the types of Hero Duet two-wheeler insurance plans you can choose from:

• Third-party Insurance Premium

A third-party bike insurance plan will cover the damages and injury to the third party. If a third party property is injured due to an accident caused by your bike, the third-party two-wheeler insurance plan will cover the same. A third-party insurance cover is like a risk cover, which will provide financial assistance to help you take care of third-party liabilities. The plan is mandatory for vehicles on Indian roads. The premium for such a plan is cost-effective. However, it does not cover any damages caused to your Hero Duet or any injuries sustained by you in case of an accident.

• Comprehensive Insurance Premium

To protect yourself and the bike completely, it is advisable to opt for a comprehensive insurance plan. It will provide complete financial protection in case of own damages along with covering third-party liabilities. Even if the bike is stolen, the insurance policy will cover it. Such a plan also covers any bodily injuries caused to you during an accident. Thus, it involves a higher premium.

As mentioned above, third-party bike insurance will only provide coverage for medical expenses and damages caused to the third party during an accident. However, a comprehensive insurance plan will also cover the expenses for the damages to your own vehicle as well as your injuries, along with providing third-party cover.

Most insurance plans have a certain set of exclusions that are not covered by the insurance policy. Bike insurance exclusions have situations like normal wear and tear of vehicle parts, accidents due to drunk driving or driving under influence of mind-altering substances, coverage for replacement of consumables, etc.

Add-on covers can help you considerably enhance the protection of your Hero Duet bike:

• Zero Depreciation Cover

A zero depreciation bike insurance cover protects your Hero Duet from depreciation. Your Duet will be covered for the bike’s full market value, i.e. without considering depreciation, thereby increasing your insurance claim amounts.

• Round-the-Clock Spot Assistance

With the round-the-clock spot assistance cover, you are never left stranded in case your Hero Duet breaks down in the middle of the road.

• Personal Accident Cover

This add-on cover protects you and the pillion rider for the treatment expenses of injuries sustained in an accident on your insured bike.

• Return to Invoice

The Return to Invoice cover helps you get the complete value of your bike back in case it incurs total loss due to unforeseen events. This amount is the same as that mentioned on your bike’s purchase invoice.

Here are some points that can help you reduce the price of insurance premiums for your Hero Duet:

• Avoid Making Small Insurance Claims

Making multiple insurance claims in a year can lead to an increase in the price of your premiums. In case of minor repairs for your Hero Duet, you should get them done out of pocket.

• Maintain your Hero Duet

If you maintain your Hero Duet two-wheeler properly, it will run smoothly for many years and you won’t have to make any insurance claims, thereby saving you from an increase in the premiums.

• Compare Insurance Plans Online

When looking to buy insurance for your Hero Duet, you should first compare all two-wheeler insurance plans available online to find the cheapest plan that offers great features.

• Choose Only Necessary Add Ons

You may be tempted to buy many available add-ons with your insurance plan, but they can increase the cost of premiums. Select all your add-ons carefully and get rid of any covers you do not need.

When you maintain your Hero Duet properly, you will have to pay lower for repairs and insurance in the long run. Here are some important maintenance tips you should know:

• Regularly Service Your Hero Duet

Your Duet needs to be checked and serviced regularly to ensure that it is running smoothly. Moreover, regular servicing can help identify any potential problems and deal with them before they become major issues.

• Maintain Tyre Pressure

You need to make sure that the tyre pressure in your Hero Duet is maintained properly so that there is no extra pressure on the engine or the internals of the vehicle.

• Maintain the Engine

The engine of your Hero Duet is the most important component and hence it’s important to drive smoothly at a steady recommended speed so that your engine performs optimally for a long time.

• Do Not Overload

Overloading your Hero Duet can cause damage to the engine and the internal parts due to the added stress of carrying extra weight, so avoid doing the same.
