What is Zero Depreciation Bike Insurance?
The value of your two wheeler or bike depreciates as soon as you take it out of the showroom after purchase. Depreciation means a reduction in the price of your bike’s parts like nylon, plastic, metal etc. This also means that your bike’s depreciated part’s value is not entirely covered by your insurance. A nil or zero depreciation bike insurance helps keep the value of your bike intact. [2]
Based on the depreciation value, you will have to cover the charges for your bike’s repair. Below is a table with a breakdown of depreciable bike parts and the deducted depreciation rate for which you need to pay from your own pocket if you only have a base insurance:
Depc |
Deducted Depreciation |
Rubber, Nylon, Plastic Parts |
50% |
Fibre Glass |
30% |
Tubes and Tyres |
50% |
Glass |
0% |
Let’s take an example to understand this better. Suppose you have to get your bike’s nylon parts replaced and you raise a claim with Acko. In this case, if you do not have a zero depreciation insurance for your two wheeler, your insurer Acko will only pay 50% of the price for replacement. The remaining 50% of the cost will have to be borne by you. In case you have a zero dep insurance, Acko - your insurer will bear the cost of replacement of your bike’s nylon parts.
Note that the rate of depreciation also depends on the age of your two wheeler as mentioned below:
Age of Your Two Wheeler/ Bike | Percentage of Depreciation |
Not exceeding 6 months | Nil |
Exceeding 6 months but not exceeding 1 year | 5% |
Exceeding 1 year but not exceeding 2 years | 10% |
Exceeding 2 years but not exceeding 3 years | 15% |
Exceeding 3 years but not exceeding 4 years | 25% |
Exceeding 4 years but not exceeding 5 years | 35% |
Exceeding 5 years but not exceeding 10 years | 40% |
Exceeding 10 years | 50% |
