Insurance premium rates are calculated based on certain factors. These factors include:
Third-party insurance is mandatory by law and has a premium fixed by IRDAI, Comprehensive insurance covers damage to your own bike too depending on several factors and customizations, and Own-damage insurance covers damages done to your own bike only depending on customization.
Insured Declared Value (IDV)
The IDV is the current market value of your bike. Higher IDV = higher premium and it depends on the make and model, along with the variant of the bike.
Bikes with bigger engines (cc) have higher premiums, because they are considered riskier.
Older bikes usually have lower IDV, leading to lower premiums.
Premiums are higher in metro cities (more traffic and risk) compared to smaller towns.
If you take extra covers (like zero depreciation, roadside assistance, etc.), your premium goes up.
If you haven't made a claim in the previous year, you get a discount on your premium.
In some cases, your age, driving experience, and claim history also impact the premium.
