Add-ons are additional coverages that you can purchase at an additional premium to strengthen the coverage of your insurance policy. When it comes to something as valuable and precious as a sports bike it is a no-brainer that you should opt for these to tailor your policy to your needs.

Important Insurance Add-Ons For Your Sports Bike

Let’s read all about some of the most important insurance add-ons for your sports bike.

1. Zero Depreciation Cover

Depreciation refers to the reduction in assessed market value (IDV or Insurance Declared Value) of your bike over time. Should you raise a claim regarding replacement of parts or for damages to your bike, you would be compensated according to the depreciated IDV of your bike and not the actual cost of repairs. This add on ensures that you would be compensated by the insurance company for the market value of the purchased parts.

Roadside assistance cover offers you the ability to get emergency assistance in case of situations like breakdown of your bike, assistance with towing, etc., and thus is extremely advisable especially with a sports bike as you would not like to take any risk with conducting repairs yourself on such a valuable possession.

3. Engine Protection Cover

It is definitely possible that at some point your sports bike would face damage to its engine, for example, due to a natural calamity or disaster such as flooding. In such a situation it is extremely beneficial to have the add-on of engine protect cover add-on, as under a standard comprehensive policy this would not be covered.
