Bike values depreciate with time, just like any other item. Depreciation is the term for this decrease in value. At the time of claim settlement, the insurance providers account for this loss and deduct the depreciation fee from the claim amount. A normal comprehensive or standalone own-damage plan does not cover the depreciation fee by default; however, a zero depreciation cover helps eliminate this penalty. The Royal Sundaram zero depreciation bike insurance add-on cover eliminates the depreciation charge for policyholders.

How does Royal Sundaram Two Wheeler Insurance Zero Depreciation Cover Work?

When it comes to bike insurance, zero depreciation means that the insurance company will cover the depreciation of the bike parts when settling the claim. Royal Sundaram zero depreciation two-wheeler insurance provides comprehensive coverage without taking into account their depreciation value. If your bike is injured in a traffic accident, for example, your insurance company will cover all damages or losses incurred during claim settlement. As a result, zero depreciation bike insurance provides a higher claim amount for incurred damage while also saving you money.
