Step 1 – Purchase Hero Insurance that provides own damage cover

Step 2 – Inform the insurer in case of an accident.

Step 3 –  Later, the insurer will inspect your Hero bike at the network garage and approve the claim accordingly

Step 4 –  Your bike will be repaired within 2-3 days, until then, the insurer will pay you a daily allowance for conveyance

Step 5 –  The daily allowance will stop when your bike is repaired and delivered to you

  5. Check if your reason is valid to raise a claim under the policy
  6. Do not raise a claim if it is not necessary or the damage is too small
