Five Important Add-on Covers for Your National Two Wheeler Insurance Policy

Given below are the five add- on Cover that you can get along with your National bike insurance policy: 

• NCB Protect Add- on Cover:

No Claim Bonus or the NCB bonus customers get to avail at the time of the National Bike Insurance Policy Renewal. When you do not make any claim throughout the tenure of your insurance policy, National Insurance awards you points for being a good driver. These points are accumulated over the years and are turned into a percentage. This percentage is known as the NCB bonus. If you avail of this bonus at the time of the policy renewal, you get a much discount on the insurance premiums of your renewed policy. The maximum percentage of NCB that National Insurance Company allows its policyholders to have is 50%. This bonus is feeble and can be lost even if you claim a small amount from the insurer. Under the NCB add- on cover, you are allowed to make small claims up to a certain amount without jeopardizing your NCB status. 

• Zero Depreciation Add-on Cover:

Every bike sustains some damage over the years of the constant use of the vehicle. The cost to repair and replace the depreciated parts of the vehicle is known as the deductible amount. At the time of the claim settlement insurer settles the amount without factoring in the deductibles. For example, an insurer will calculate the claim amount after assessing the damage. At the time of the settlement, the amount that was used to replace and repair the depreciated parts will be deducted from the amount. Only then the claim will be settled. The zero depreciation add-cover ascertains that the insurer takes the deductible amount into consideration as well. This way, you receive a 100% claim amount. 

• Engine Protect Add-on Cover:

The engine is the most important part of the vehicle. Therefore, it is vital to protect it. Over the years the engine suffers wear and tear in manners like water ingression or the leakage of the lubricants. The engine stands the highest chance of getting damaged in an accident. There is also sometimes the engine's mechanical failure that results from the damage to the gearbox or some electrical failure that fails it to kick start. Base insurance policy does not cover the cost of the repair of the engine and the cost of the repair of the engine can be too much for the policyholders, especially in times of adversity. Engine protect add-on cover mandates the insurers to pay for the repair cost of the engine at the time of the settlements. 

• Return to Invoice Add- on Cover:

Sometimes an insured vehicle gets damaged beyond the repairs or gets stolen. In such times, return to invoice add-on cover can help the policyholder a lot. If you add this cover to your insurance policy, then the insurer will compensate the whole amount. For example, suppose your vehicle gets damaged beyond repair. In that case, the insurer will assess the value of the vehicle when it was purchased through the invoice or the latest valuation of the same model given by the brand. Whichever the amount is the lowest, the policyholder will get that amount in the form of compensation. 

• Zero Depreciation Plus Add-on Cover for Two-wheeler: 

Under this cover, you get compensation for the repair and the replacement of the parts of the vehicle that are either partially damaged or completely damaged. The damage should only be the result of an accident. You can utilize this cover only twice during the policy tenure.
