In the evolving landscape of car insurance, stand-alone Own Damage (OD) policies are gaining traction among vehicle owners in India who seek comprehensive coverage beyond the mandatory third-party liability insurance. This insurance option is particularly beneficial for those residing in high-risk areas or owning luxury vehicles, providing protection against theft, accidents, and natural calamities.
Introduced for cars purchased post-September 2018, this optional cover enhances financial security by addressing potential damages not covered under basic third-party policies. OD insurance allows owners to customize their plans with necessary add-ons, ensuring their vehicle's protection aligns with specific risks and usage patterns.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India underscores the importance of these policies as more car owners realize the inadequacies of third-party insurance alone. With a focus on alleviating financial burdens from unforeseen incidents, stand-alone OD insurance is increasingly becoming a preferred choice for prudent car owners keen on safeguarding their investments.
