Royal Sundaram Launches ' Two Wheeler Long Term Package Policy '

15 March, 2017

Chennai, 15 March 2017: Royal Sundaram General Insurance Co. Limited, India’s first private sector general insurance company, launched the ‘Two Wheeler Long Term Package Policy’. The product offers extended protection for a period of 2 or 3 years upon payment of a single premium unaffected by the annual rate hike. The Two Wheeler Long Term Package Policy  will cover the accidental loss or damage to the two wheeler and also covers liability to third parties and personal accidental cover.

 

Commenting on the launch of the new product, M.S. Sreedhar, Managing Director, Royal Sundaram General Insurance Co. Limited said, “We believe in constant innovation and elevating the customer experience. Royal Sundaram’s new Two Wheeler Long Term Package Policy  is an all encompassing product that offers compound benefits with hassle-free renewals at reasonable cost. With the recent introduction of the long-term motor policy we are confident that more vehicles will be insured by 2020 thereby bringing more number of uninsured vehicles under cover and also improve penetration.”

 

S. Thirunavukarasu, Country Head, Underwriting and Claims (motor), Royal Sundaram General Insurance Co. Limited said, “As per industry projections, it is estimated that 75% of two wheeler users do not renew their insurance regularly. While no two wheeler can be purchased without buying an insurance policy, the policies are discontinued mostly upon resale of vehicles. Another reason for the lack of interest in two wheeler insurance is the low frequency of claims. However, what many customers fail to understand is that there is a third party cover which is mandatory and could come in handy should there be an unfortunate accident involving third parties. Traditionally, motor insurance policies have been only for a period of one year. The Two Wheeler Long Term Package Policy  by Royal Sundaram offers excellent benefits, ease and convenience to buy, simple to understand and gives best value for money. The product provides a long term benefit that spans across 2-3 years”.

 

Unique features:

 

1. One time payment for a long term insurance.

2. Convenience - not to face the hassle of renewing your policy each year.

3. Protection of ‘No Claim Bonus(NCB) -in case of one claim during the currency of the policy.

4. Protection from inflation- no need to pay any extra premium even if there is an increase in third party premium during the course of the policy period.

5. Easy to keep record - only one policy document will be issued for the entire policy period of 2 or 3 years.
