What is Depreciation in Bike Insurance?
Depreciation is the natural decrease in your bike's value over time due to wear and tear. Typically, when you make a claim, bike insurance companies factor in this depreciation, reducing your payout. This means you end up paying a part of the repair costs from your own pocket.
Why Choose Universal Sompo's Zero Depreciation Add-on?
Here's how this add-on enhances your two wheeler insurance:
- Get the Maximum Claim Amount: Say goodbye to deductions for depreciation! With this add-on cover, you receive the full cost of replacing or repairing damaged parts, no matter how old your bike is.
- Reduce Your Financial Burden: Repairing a damaged bike can be expensive. This add-on covers the entire cost of parts, saving you from significant out-of-pocket expenses, especially for newer bikes with costly components.
- Ride with Peace of Mind: Knowing you are fully covered for repair costs gives you the confidence to enjoy your rides without worrying about unexpected financial burdens in case of an accident.
