How to Transfer your Two Wheeler Insurance?

Two wheelers are the most common mode of transport in India, especially when you have to travel a small distance at the peak traffic hours. Two wheelers include scooters, mopeds and motorcycles. A million of these vehicles run on the Indian roads daily.

People in India buy two wheeler vehicles based on their changing needs and the changing trends in the two wheeler industry. While most of them buy a new two wheeler, many of them also purchase a second hand vehicle. When buying a new two wheeler, you need to get a new two wheeler insurance policy. But when buying a second hand two wheeler, you need to get the existing insurance policy transferred to your name.

What needs to be transferred when buying a second hand bike?

On purchasing a second hand bike, you are required to transfer the following documents on your name:

• RC book
