Bangalore: SBI General Insurance Company Ltd, one of the fastest growing general insurance companies in India, has launched its Long Term Two Wheeler Insurance Policy- package providing cover for up to three consecutive years. The policy offers comprehensive coverage for two wheelers including damage to vehicle and third party Property Damage or Bodily Injury. Since premium is paid upfront for three years, policy holders are protected from increases of third party premium or in any other taxes.

Other features of the policy include coverage for any third party permanent injury/ death caused by the insured vehicle and personal accident cover for the owner/ driver of the vehicle. Additionally, in case of third party liability any damage caused to the property (excluding vehicle) of some other individual by the insured vehicles covered up to INR 1 lakh in case of Two-wheeler.

Commenting on the launch of the new policy, Mr. Puneet Sahni, Head- Product Development, SBI General Insurance said, “With the two-wheeler segment set for growth and a large customer base with a break- in policy, it is extremely significant for us to introduce comprehensive two-wheeler policy. This will inspire riders to not only buy insurance but also renew their policy regularly as the process is hassle-free. We are confident that our ‘Long Term Two- Wheeler Insurance’ policy will cater to all the needs of a rider, thus, creating a secure position for us within the two-wheeler insurance category.”

Mr. Sahni further added, “It is mandatory by law that every two-wheeler running on the road should be insured at least for third party insurance cover. The increased number of uninsured vehicles has become a serious concern for the industry. People usually find the process of renewal cumbersome or at times forget to renew their policies and it remains uncovered for third party risk as well.

Our product is available across the length and breadth of the country through the wide network of our branches and vast branch network of the State Bank Group. We hope that the market takes advantage of this product and the hassle free process to apply for it.”
