India is a country with one of the largest two-wheeler population. The growth of two-wheeler users is exponential year on year. It is also the country where according to General Insurance Council (GIC), in 2015 -2016 among the 19 crore registered vehicles 8.26 crore don’t have third party insurance. Most of these uninsured vehicles were found to be two wheelers – Motor bikes and scooters.

The main reasons that people don’t renew their insurance is

  • The number of times the vehicle needs to go for inspection, waiting in the insurance office or the biggest fear of them all paper work

  • There is the case also where people forget to renew their insurance as they forget the expiration date. Most people only look at it when they plan on claiming insurance when it is too late

  • Then there is also the premium that needs to be paid year on year which also increases if you had any claims that year

  • Financial instability where the two-wheeler owner is not able to get an insurance policy as they don’t have the funds for renewal

To solve all these problems the Indian Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has come up with the long-term insurance policy which covers the vehicle for 3 years.

Bajaj Allianz is one such insurance provider who provides 3-year insurance policies
