Why is it important to buy insurance for Hero two-wheeler?

Buying Hero two-wheeler insurance is as important as:

  1. Mandatory Third-party Liability: In India, third-party insurance is compulsory. The policy saves you from legal liabilities. If you do not own an insurance policy, you will be liable to pay a fine of Rs.2000/-. 
  2. It saves you from the expense of repairs: The insurance policy of two-wheeler will pay you when you need repairs for the damages. The damage may arise from an accident, natural calamities, theft, and fire.
  3. It pays you in case of a personal accident: The Hero two-wheeler policy has a mandatory personal accident protection cover for the owner-driver. Having an insurance policy will help you in case of injury due to an accident.
  4. Allows to extend the scope of cover: If you have a Comprehensive Package Policy, you can buy extended coverage for your Hero two-wheeler. For Hero two-wheelers, you can buy Zero Depreciation cover and breakdown assistance cover.

Types of insurance policies available for Hero Two Wheelers - In India, you can buy either of these two Hero bike insurance  policies for your Hero Two-wheeler:

  • Third-Party Liability Policy: As per the Motor Vehicle Act 1988, the third-party liability policy is mandatory for all two-wheelers riding in India. For two-wheelers, it will provide you protection at the time of property damage, bodily injury or death of the third-party, and personal accident cover.
  • Comprehensive Package Policy: When your insurance policy pays you for the losses incurred due to damage of the bike along with the third-party liability, it is called the Comprehensive Package Policy. Damage in a Hero two-wheeler may arise due to accident, theft, fire or any natural calamity like a flood. The policy now comes with a compulsory personal accident cover too.
