Reliance Third-Party Bike Insurance
The rising number of two-wheelers and accidents go hand in hand. Given this, The 1988 Motor Vehicles Act made it compulsory for every two-wheeler owner to get their vehicle insured with minimum third-party bike insurance. Reliance third-party bike insurance is the basic type of motor insurance that covers the policyholder for third-party damages.
Third-Party Two Wheeler Insurance protects the policyholder from unforeseen third-party damages and provides financial coverage at affordable premium rates. Though it has a limited scope than comprehensive two-wheeler insurance, it makes sense for those who do not want to drive much and cannot spend much on the premium.
