How Do I Change My Two-Wheeler Insurance Policy Online?

Look no further; here is a handy guide on how to change your two-wheeler policy online in different situations depending on when you choose to make the change to your policy:

1. At The Time Of Renewal

When you are at the point at which you have to renew an existing policy, you may choose to switch to a different one instead. This is the easiest point in time to make the change. Renewal and buying a new policy are similar processes. Ask your Bike insurance company to issue an NCB (No Claim Bonus) Certificate in order to have it transferred and remain applicable to your new policy.

2. During The Policy Period

Another time you may want to change your bike insurance company or get a new policy from the same company during the policy period of your existing insurance policy. This is not highly recommended. However, it can be done. Each company will have a different process for doing so. Inform your insurance company of your decision and follow the process. You may be able to get a new insurance policy online within minutes. Make sure that your new policy is activated before you ride your bike, as it is illegal to ride without a valid insurance policy that is at least up to Third Party.

3. New Ownership

Insurance policies apply to particular vehicles. Therefore, if you sell your vehicle, you will have to get the insurance policy transferred to the new owner’s name. It is both the seller’s and buyer’s responsibility to ensure that the transfer takes place. You will have to contact your insurance company and submit all the relevant documents for proof of sale and the new owner’s personal details.

4. Change In Vehicle

If you purchase a new bike, you will have to purchase an insurance policy to go along with it. You may not want to stick with the policy that the bike dealer provides as it may not meet your needs and preferences. Thus, you should compare different options online and select a policy that best meets your requirements.
