      Go to any reliance fresh outlet and get an ICICI Insurance. It is cheaper bought from them, than when bought online. These days, many petrol bunks in Hyd. are having insurance agents visiting them often and they offer insurance on the spot. So, you can check if there is any such thing in your place.

        You can get it renewed at any insurance company. However, they will insist on vehicle verification (photographs will be taken) as the policy has lapsed.
        They will tell you how much premium is to be paid taking vehicle IDV (Insurer Declared Value) as base for calculation, w.r.t. market rates.
        On the down side, you may find that the premium quoted is higher than last year's premium, since the no-claim bonus expires after 90 days.
        If you are still within 90 days, you can avail it even if you are changing the insurer.
        Hope I was clear.

          Don't forget to take your expired insurance copy with you. New insurers might ask to see it for some reason. Getting a new insurance is a very easy job, do it fast.

            I would suggest you approach some reputed insurance brokers. They will help you renew you insurance policy in the existing company or else will also suggest you, if there, some better insurance policy that will best suit your requirements. The reason to approach an insurance broker is to get professional insurance advisory services and that too in an unbiased manner.

                why are you not happy with the current insurance co? I had a fine experience with iffko tokio when my bike crashed and when it got stolen.. so though my P220 came with oriental insurance i switched to iffko tokio just for their service standards. Its upto you but a insurance is compulsory by law as well from the point of view of financial safety.

                  Can vouch IFFCO TOKIO; I'm quite happy with them covering my CBR.

                      Insurance renew and late fee

                      I'm using ICICI insurance from last two years for my CBR and its due for a renew on the first week of July. Now the thing is currently I'm out of town and it's hard to renew the insurance by sending someone from my family or friends.

                      I won't go for online renewal as they reduce the vehicle insured amount fairly low and the showroom guys are very responsive and take good care of the vehicle in case of any damage. So I will definitely go for an in-store policy renewal.

                      Now my question is, if I renew insurance 2-3 months after it expired what would the be the late fee amount? Is there any other option to switch to a new insurance company without paying the late fee? Just to mention, last year insurance premium was 3.5K.
