Reliance Zero Depreciation Add-on

Process of losing the monetary value of the two-wheeler/bike keeping in mind several factors such as the age of the two-wheeler, wear and tear etc. Depreciation of the two-wheeler takes place over a period of time. You may have to pay a huge amount from your own pocket at the time of filing a claim because of depreciation deductions. To avoid paying a large sum on filing a claim for your two-wheeler you can add a Zero Depreciation Cover in your two-wheeler comprehensive/standalone own-damage policy. With the help of a zero depreciation add-on cover, you can claim a higher amount without considering depreciation deductions.

Reliance Zero Depreciation cover is a bike insurance add-on that can be opted with Reliance Lombard comprehensive and standalone own-damage bike insurance policies. This add-on helps you get complete coverage without deduction of the depreciation expense incurred by your bike.

By default, a policyholder is responsible for bearing the cost of depreciation incurred by the insured’s bike, and thus, the depreciation amount is deducted by the insurer from the claim amount at the time of claim settlement. However, the Reliance Zero Depreciation add-on allows policyholders to get rid of this depreciation charge. By opting for this add-on, policyholders can enjoy the entire claim amount without facing any depreciation. Thus, by paying a little extra in the form of a premium for the zero depreciation cover, the policyholders get the maximum coverage for their bikes.
