Zurich Kotak Zero Depreciation Bike Insurance
Zurich Kotak (formerly known as Kotak) Zero Depreciation Bike Insurance Policy offers the policyholders an opportunity to save themselves from not paying for the depreciation of their bike. Insurance companies charge depreciation costs for a two-wheeler's gradual wearing out. The policyholders are required to pay a higher amount of depreciation charges if the bike ages for a longer time. Therefore, the zero-depreciation add-on helps policyholders reduce the overall cost of maintenance if the bike is prone to accidents. However, the add-on is applicable for the first two claims only during the policy period.
The policyholders must pay a 15% to 20% extra premium for availing of the depreciation cover add-on. However, the increased cost will compensate for the overall cost of maintenance as the insured will continue using the bike for long-term perspectives.
