Bajaj Allianz (Now Bajaj General) Bike Insurance, Plans, Premium and Full Review
• 8 min read
Insure Blog

Bajaj Allianz bike insurance is now sold as Bajaj General Insurance. On 7 October 2025, Bajaj Finserv renamed Bajaj Allianz General Insurance as Bajaj General Insurance after acquiring Allianz SE's 26% stake, making the business fully Bajaj-owned. Existing Bajaj Allianz policies continue as before. The insurer, the policy terms and the claim process are the same, and only the name on new documents has changed.

This review covers Bajaj General's two-wheeler plans, premium range, add-ons, claim process and what its published claims figures actually mean, with the strengths and the limits set out side by side.

 

Bajaj Allianz Two-Wheeler Insurance Overview, Why Consider It

Plans Offered (TP, Comprehensive, Add-on Packages)

 

PlanWhat it coversSuits
Third-party (TP) coverDeath or injury to others without an upper limit, and damage to others' property up to ₹1 lakh for two-wheelersOlder, low-value bikes, and the legal minimum under Section 146 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988
Comprehensive coverTP cover plus own-damage (OD) cover for the bike against accident, theft, fire and natural eventsMost bikes under five years old
Standalone OD coverOD cover only, for bikes that already have a valid TP policyBikes bought after September 2018 that carry long-term TP
Compulsory personal accident cover₹15 lakh for the owner-driver's death or permanent disabilityRequired unless the owner holds a qualifying personal accident policy

 

The ₹1 lakh limit on third-party property damage for two-wheelers is stated by both Bajaj General and New India Assurance, and applies across insurers.

New bikes sold since 1 September 2018 carry a five-year TP policy, usually with one year of OD. On 4 August 2026, the Supreme Court raised the mandatory TP term to six years for new two-wheelers and directed IRDAI to issue the implementing instructions.

 

Premium Range by Bike Type

 

TP premium is fixed by the Motor Vehicles (Third Party Insurance Base Premium and Liability) Rules, 2022 and is the same at Bajaj General as at every other insurer. OD premium is priced by Bajaj General itself, so the table uses the former India Motor Tariff rates as a benchmark, for a bike up to five years old in a Zone A city.

Bike type, exampleAnnual TP (₹)OD benchmark, new bike (₹)OD benchmark, 3-year-old (₹)
Commuter up to 150 cc, Hero Splendor Plus at about ₹77,0007141,249921
150 cc class, Bajaj Pulsar 150 at ₹1,11,1977141,8041,329
150 cc to 350 cc, Bajaj Pulsar NS200 at ₹1,38,3021,3662,3561,736
Above 350 cc, KTM 390 Duke R at ₹3,39,0012,8046,0514,459

 

The OD benchmark applies the former tariff rates of 1.708% of IDV up to 150 cc, 1.793% for 150 cc to 350 cc, and 1.879% above 350 cc, to an IDV of 95% of the ex-showroom price for a new bike and 70% for a 3-year-old one. IDV, the Insured Declared Value, is the most the insurer pays on theft or total loss. Figures exclude GST, no-claim bonus, add-ons and personal accident cover, and Bajaj General's actual quote can be higher or lower. The five-year TP premium for a new bike is ₹2,901 up to 75 cc, ₹3,851 for 75 cc to 150 cc, ₹7,365 for 150 cc to 350 cc and ₹15,117 above 350 cc.

No-claim bonus (NCB), the discount on OD premium for claim-free years, reduces these figures by 20% after one claim-free year, rising to 50% after five. For example, a 3-year-old Pulsar NS200 with three claim-free policy years earns a 35% NCB, which brings its OD benchmark from ₹1,736 to about ₹1,128.

 

Claim Settlement Ratio, What It Means for You

 

The claim settlement ratio is the share of claims an insurer settles out of those it receives. Bajaj General's own blog lists a two-wheeler claim settlement ratio of 98.83% in its 2025 comparison table. That is the insurer's own reported figure, and other Bajaj group pages quote slightly different numbers for different periods, so treat it as a broad indicator rather than a precise measure.

A few points help put any ratio in context.

  • It counts claims, not rupees. A high ratio can include claims settled for less than the amount asked.
  • Speed matters as much as approval. How quickly a claim is surveyed and paid often matters more to a bike owner.
  • The official source is the insurer's public disclosure. IRDAI's guidelines require general insurers to publish each year the number of claims paid and repudiated, with percentages, and their claim turnaround times. Bajaj General publishes these under the financial information section of its website.

     

Cashless Workshop Network

 

Bajaj General states that its two-wheeler cover gives access to 10,000+ network garages. A cashless claim means the insurer pays the garage directly, and the owner pays only the deductible and any costs the policy does not cover, such as depreciation on parts without zero depreciation cover.

Under Bajaj General's claim process, vehicles repaired at one of its preferred network workshops are eligible for cashless settlement, while repairs elsewhere are handled as reimbursement claims. Before buying, use the garage locator on Bajaj General's website to confirm that an authorised service centre for the bike's brand near home is in the network. A nationwide count matters less than having a good garage nearby.

 

How to Buy Bajaj Allianz Bike Insurance Online

 

  1. Keep the details ready. Registration number, previous policy and NCB earned.
  2. Choose the plan. Comprehensive for most bikes under five years old, standalone OD if long-term TP is still running, or TP-only for an older low-value bike.
  3. Set the IDV and add-ons. Keep the IDV at a fair market value, and add only the covers that suit the bike's age and use.
  4. Check the premium breakdown. TP is fixed by law, so compare the OD premium, add-ons and NCB applied.
  5. Pay and download the policy. Check the name, registration number, IDV and add-ons on the schedule.

Before buying, it is sensible to set Bajaj General's quote against two-wheeler insurance plans from other insurers on Insure24, using the same IDV and add-ons so the comparison is fair.

 

Claim Process, Step-by-Step

 

Regular Cashless or Reimbursement Claim

 

  1. Register the claim. Call 1800-209-5858, email [email protected], or use the Bajaj General app or website.
  2. File an FIR where needed. It is required for theft, major damage or injury to others.
  3. Take the bike to a network workshop for cashless repair, or to any garage for a reimbursement claim. Towing help is available through the roadside assistance line, 1800-103-5858.
  4. Survey and approval. The damage is assessed, and repair is approved.
  5. Settlement. For cashless claims, Bajaj General pays the workshop directly after repair. For reimbursement, submit the original invoice and payment receipt.

     

Documents Bajaj General Lists

 

  • Claim form, signed
  • Driving licence copy
  • Registration certificate
  • Repair estimate, then the final invoice and payment receipts
  • KYC documents such as PAN and Aadhaar
  • FIR copy for theft, major damage or third-party involvement

     

Motor On-the-Spot for Small Claims

 

For eligible two-wheeler claims up to ₹10,000, Bajaj General's Motor OTS feature lets the owner file through the app, upload photographs of the damage, licence and registration certificate, and receive a proposed claim amount by SMS. If accepted, the amount is paid to the bank account, and Bajaj General states that settlement can happen within 20 minutes. The OTS helpline is 1800-266-6416.
