How to Calculate Premium for HDFC ERGO Two-Wheeler Insurance
Your HDFC ERGO bike insurance premium is determined after considering a range of factors, that include:
- Insurance Policy Variant
Every two-wheeler insurer offers two types of policies – a comprehensive policy, and a third-party policy. Given that the former offers a wider range of benefits, premiums on the same are higher as compared to premiums for the latter.
- Type and Condition of Vehicle
Based on your two-wheeler’s specifications, such as the engine’s cubic capacity, the insurance premium varies. Higher the cubic capacity, the higher the insurance premium. In addition to this, factors such as the age of the vehicle, place of registration, bike model and class, fuel type, and miles covered also help determine the insurance premium that will be applicable.
- Risk Evaluation of Driver’s Record
Insurance companies calculate a risk factor, based on your age, gender, driving experience, and driving record -all of which help determine the premium you will have to pay.
- Market Value of Two-Wheeler
The brand and functionality of the bike help determine its market value. This is an important factor in determining the premium applicable.
- Add-on Covers opted for
The higher the number of add-on covers, the higher the premium levied, and vice-versa.
- Bike Modifications
The higher the number of modifications to your bike, the higher the premium applicable, and vice-versa.
