Depreciation means a decrease in the valuation of an object over a time period. A two-wheeler also undergoes such devaluation over a period of time. Hence, while settling a claim, the insurance company deduces some amount called depreciation value from the claim value. To avoid such deductions, one can purchase the Kotak Mahindra zero depreciation bike insurance. 

How does  Kotak Mahindra Two Wheeler Insurance Zero Depreciation Cover Work?

When one purchases the Kotak Mahindra zero depreciation two-wheeler insurance along with a standalone or a comprehensive policy, the depreciated value of the bike is not deducted while settling a claim. It comes as an add-on cover that gives extra benefits to the bike insurance policyholder as he can get the full claim amount without facing the reduction in depreciation. 

Benefits of Kotak Mahindra Two Wheeler Insurance Zero Depreciation Add-on Cover

The benefits of buying Kotak Mahindra zero depreciation two-wheeler insurance are as follows – 

  1. Increase in claim amount – While settling a claim, any company deducts the depreciation amount of the asset under consideration from the claim amount. In such a case, the claim amount reduces. But if one has a zero depreciation add-on cover, then the depreciation amount is not reduced from the claim value, and hence the claim amount is higher.
  2. Increased coverage – With zero depreciation cover, one can at least expect some amount of extra coverage for one's bike. This becomes extra special when one's two-wheeler is either new or very costly. 
  3. Cost of repair without the depreciated value deduction – With the Kotak Mahindra zero depreciation bike insurance, the cost of repair of any of the insured bike parts is compensated without deducting the depreciation amount.
