Car Insurance vs Two-Wheeler Insurance

Different Vehicles. Different Protection Needs.

🚗 Car Insurance

  • Vehicle value
  • Usage
  • Location
  • Driver profile
  • Existing coverage
  • Deductibles
  • Add-ons
  • Claim history

🏍 Two-Wheeler Insurance

  • Vehicle type and age
  • Usage
  • Location
  • Existing coverage
  • Rider profile
  • Add-ons
  • Policy terms

The right policy isn't necessarily the cheapest policy. It should provide appropriate coverage for your vehicle and circumstances.

What Are Motor Insurance Add-Ons?

Extra Protection for Specific Needs

Add-ons can extend or modify the protection provided by a base motor insurance policy, depending on the insurer and product. Common examples may include:

Zero Depreciation

May reduce the impact of depreciation on eligible claim settlements, subject to conditions.

Roadside Assistance

Can provide assistance for specified roadside situations.

Engine Protection

May provide coverage for specified engine-related risks not covered under the standard policy, subject to terms.

Return to Invoice

May provide benefits based on invoice-related value in specified circumstances, subject to policy conditions.

Consumables Cover

May cover specified consumable items during eligible repairs.

Personal Accident Cover

Provides benefits according to the applicable personal accident policy/coverage terms.

Don't add every available add-on. Choose only those that make sense for your vehicle, usage and circumstances.
