Own Damage Car Insurance

own damage car insurance

Own-damage (OD) car insurance is a standalone policy that covers damage to your car caused by accidents, fire, man-made or natural disasters and theft. It can be purchased only if you already have a valid third-party car policy. ​​

​​​For instance,​​ if you get car insurance from the dealer when buying a new car, the own damage coverage you get under the plan will only be for a year, while the third-party coverage will be for three years. In this case, you can buy the IndusInd own damage car insurance policy to ensure your car stays covered once the dealer's 1-year OD plan expires. If you're looking for a car policy, with IndusInd General Insurance (formerly known as Reliance General Insurance), you can get an own-damage car insurance plan separately or bundled with third-party insurance.

We also offer options to increase coverage through our 15+ add-ons (and 3 EV add-ons), cashless claims at over 11,000 network garages, and quick online processes for claims and renewals.

what is own damage car insurance

What is Own Damage Car Insurance?

Own damage car insurance is a standalone car insurance cover that protects your own vehicle against losses caused by accidents, theft, fire, floods, earthquakes, and other natural or man-made events. In simple terms, it pays for the repair or replacement of your car if it gets damaged - something a basic third-party policy does not do.

As per IRDAI rules, third-party (TP) car insurance is mandatory in India, while own damage (OD) cover is optional. However, an own damage insurance for cars can be purchased only if your car already has a valid third-party insurance policy. This makes own damage insurance for car owners an important add-on for complete financial protection.

When Can You Buy a Standalone Own Damage Policy?

  • If your car was purchased after September 2018 and has a long-term third-party policy

  • If your own damage cover has expired, but third-party insurance is still valid

  • When you want to switch insurers for better OD pricing or add-ons

  • If you currently have only a third-party policy and want protection for your own car

  • After a policy renewal, when choosing OD separately instead of a full comprehensive plan

Who Should Buy Own Damage Car Insurance?

New Car Owners

New Car Owners

New cars come with high repair and replacement costs, especially in the first 3–5 years. While third-party insurance is mandatory, it does not protect your own vehicle. Having car insurance for own damage ensures your investment is covered against accidents, theft, fire, and natural disasters from day one.

New or Inexperienced drivers

New or Inexperienced Drivers

New drivers are statistically more prone to minor accidents and scratches. Own damage car insurance acts as a financial safety net by covering repair expenses, helping you avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs while you gain driving confidence.

owners with third party

Owners with Third-Party Only Policies

If you currently have only a third-party (TP) policy, any damage to your own car must be paid from your pocket. A standalone own damage policy fills this gap by covering repair costs, replacement of parts, and damage due to accidents or disasters.

Luxury cars or EV cars

Owners of Expensive, Luxury or EV Cars

Luxury and electric vehicles have costly parts, advanced electronics, and expensive batteries. Own damage insurance, combined with suitable add-ons like zero depreciation or battery protection, helps manage high repair bills and protects long-term ownership costs.

Pay As You Drive

Pay as You Drive (Limit Sure)

Save on premiums by paying based on actual kilometres driven with this add-on. You can choose between 2,500 and 10,500 km* based on your car’s usage. So, if you stay very close to your workplace or have permanent work from home, this is the best option to save on premiums.

Nil Depreciation Cover

Nil Depreciation Cover​​​​ 

Nil depreciation, also known as bumper to bumper add-on, ensures you receive the full claim amount for replacing parts like plastic, rubber, and fibre without deductions for depreciation. This is a must-have for new or high-value cars

Return To Invoice Cover

Return-to-Invoice Cover

This add-on ensures that you receive the complete purchase amount (including taxes and registration fees) in case your car gets damaged in an accident, is stolen or cannot be repaired. Typically, without this add–on, the claim received is after deducting the deductible amount.

Engine and Gearbox Cover

Engine & Gearbox Protection Cover

The engine is the most important part of your car, and engine repairs can be expensive. This add-on covers the repair costs of the car engine or its parts for damages caused by water ingression (water entering the engine), oil leakage, or accidental impact.

Tyre Protection

Tyre Protection

This add-on covers repairs and replacement of tyres and tubes damaged by accidents, cuts or bursts or bulges caused by poor road accidents. Since tyre replacements can be costly, this add-on will ensure your out-of-pocket expenses are reduced.

Key replacement cover

Key Replacement Cover

Most modern vehicles rely on smart keys and remote locking systems, making their replacement costly in case of loss or damage. Hence, this add-on covers key replacement, lockset repairs and even smart key reprogramming.

Consumables Expenses

Consumables Expenses

When your ​car is damaged, the repair process also involves replacing minor consumables, such as nuts, bolts, oil or brake fluids. These costs can go up to 5%-10% of the total cost. This add-on covers the consumables costs, ensuring complete protection​​.​

RIM protection

Rim Protection

Since your stylish rims can sustain damage due to accidents, curbs or poor road conditions, repairing them can be expensive. ​This add-on covers the repair and replacement cost of all four of your car’s rims, which are typically not covered under a standard policy.

24/7 Roadside Assis

24/7 ​​Roadside Assistance Cover 

With this add-on, you receive emergency services like towing, fuel delivery, flat tyre replacement, battery jumpstarts and on-site repairs at any time and anywhere. Simply call the helpline number (022 48903009) or use the ​IndusInd Insurance App for assistance.

Loss Of Personal Belongings

Loss of Personal Belongings

If valuable items like your laptop, phone, or bags (worth ₹5,000 or more) are stolen from your locked car, this add-on provides compensation. It reduces the financial strain and helps you recover*, making it ideal for those who frequently carry work or personal items in their vehicle.

Daily Allowance Benefit

Daily Allowance Benefit

If your car is being repaired at any of our network garages for more than 3 days, you can rely on this cover for support. It provides you with a daily cash allowance for alternate travel costs like cab fares or train tickets until your car is back on the road.

EMI Protection Cover

EMI Protection Cover

​​​If your car is undergoing repairs at a garage for over 21, 42, or 63 days*, this covers your monthly car loan EMIs for the chosen tenure. This add-on​​ cover will ​reduce financial stress during unexpected delays, making it ideal for those who pay high monthly EMIs.​​​

EV Battery Protection

EV Battery Protection 

Protects your electric or hybrid car's battery from damage caused by accidents, water, power surges or mechanical shocks. Since EV batteries are expensive, this add-on is a must-have for EV owners.

Electric Motor Protect

Electric Motor Protect

The electric motor is vital for your EV’s functioning, but it’s vulnerable to water damage, short circuits, overheating, etc. This add-on covers repair costs for motor damage, sparing you from unexpected expenses.

EV Charger Cover

​EV Charger Cover

Covers the repair or replacement of your home EV charger, whether damaged by accidents, rat bites, fires, or theft. This add-on ensures your charging equipment stays protected.

NCB Retention Cover

NCB Retention Cover

Your NCB discount is only applicable as long as you don't file a claim. But with this add-on, you can retain your NCB discount after filing one claim during the policy year. This way, you can still use your car insurance coverage for major repair costs and enjoy your premium discount.

Electrical Accessories Cover

Electrical Accessories Cover 

This add-on safeguards any electrical accessories you’ve installed in your car, such as audio systems, parking camera, GPS device, or rearview cameras. These are usually excluded from standard insurance, but with this add-on, your additional upgrades are protected.

Non Electronics Accessories Cover

Non-Electronics Accessories Cover

Customisations such as alloy wheels, decorative fittings, seat covers or bumper guards are not included in regular insurance. This add-on covers the repair or replacement of your fittings if they are damaged in an accident, keeping your personalised fittings secure.

How is Own Damage Insurance Premium Calculated?

Factors that Affect Your OD Premium

IDV

IDV (Insured Declared Value)

Own Damage premium is largely based on the IDV of your car — the current market value of the vehicle. A higher IDV means a higher potential payout for total loss, and therefore a higher premium.

Car Age, Make and Model

Car Age, Make & Model

Newer cars and premium models usually have higher repair costs, resulting in higher OD premiums. Older cars attract lower premiums due to lower IDV. 

City/RTO and Usage Pattern

City / RTO and Usage Pattern

Vehicles registered in busy metro areas often attract higher premiums due to higher accident and theft risk. Car usage patterns (personal vs commercial) also influence pricing.

previous claims and ncb

Previous Claims and NCB (No Claim Bonus)

A claim-free history earns you NCB discounts on your OD premium, reducing the cost each claim-free year. Multiple claims or no NCB can raise your premium.

voluntary deductibles

Voluntary Deductibles & Chosen Add-Ons

Choosing higher voluntary deductibles lowers your premium, while additional covers like zero depreciation and engine protection raise the premium.

Please Note:Car insurance premiums vary based on vehicle type, add-ons, NCB, location, and usage, with higher coverage options increasing protection and claim benefits.

Tips to Reduce Own Damage Premium

Every claim-free year earns you an NCB, which can go up to 50%. This directly reduces your own damage premium at renewal.
Select an IDV close to your car’s actual market value. A very high IDV increases the premium, while a very low IDV may reduce claim payout.
Fitting IRDAI-approved anti-theft devices lowers theft risk and can make you eligible for premium discounts.
If you are comfortable paying a higher amount during claims, choosing a higher deductible can significantly reduce your annual premium.
Avoid paying for unnecessary add-ons. For example, zero depreciation is useful for new cars, while older cars may not need it.
Renew your policy on time to retain NCB and avoid inspection charges or higher premiums that may apply after a lapse.

You can also do a self-inspection using the indusind insurane app, just submit photos or join a live video survey.

4

Submit all your claim documents and wait for approval from our team. This can take 7 days (after document submission).

After we approve of your claim, we pay the bill directly to the garage and ​drop your car off at your address.

Reimbursement

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is own damage car insurance, and how is it different from comprehensive insurance?

Own damage car insurance covers only the damage to your own car due to accidents, theft, fire, or natural calamities. A comprehensive policy includes both own damage cover and mandatory third-party liability cover, while a standalone own damage policy does not include third-party protection.

Can I buy own-damage insurance if I already have third-party insurance from another insurer?

Yes, you can buy a standalone own damage policy even if your third-party cover is from a different insurer. The only requirement is that your third-party policy must be active for the same period.

Can I claim own-damage insurance if someone else was driving my car?

Yes, you can raise a claim even if someone else was driving, provided the driver had a valid driving licence and the car was used as per policy terms. Claims may be rejected if policy conditions are violated.

Is own damage car insurance and zero depreciation insurance the same?

No, they are not the same. Own damage insurance is the main cover for damage to your car, while zero depreciation is an add-on that ensures full claim payout without deducting depreciation on parts.

How to save on standalone own-damage car insurance premiums?

The best way to save on premiums would be to buy your car insurance plan online, since online plans are cheaper and offer more discounts. For example, we offer up to 90%* discount. Other ways to further reduce your premiums would be to choose the correct insured declared value (IDV) and voluntary car insurance deductibles. Also, try not to over-insure your car and only get add-ons you need.

Is own-damage car insurance mandatory in India?

What is the cost of an own-damage car insurance policy?

Does own damage car insurance cover engine damage and accessories?

Engine damage is covered only if you have opted for an engine protect add-on; it is not included by default. Electrical and non-electrical accessories are covered if declared and insured, or if you have chosen the relevant add-on.

How many times can I claim under an own damage policy in a year?

There is no fixed limit on the number of claims in a year. However, each claim affects your No Claim Bonus and may increase your premium at the next renewal.

What types of own-damage insurance policies does IndusInd General Insurance offer?

We offer 2 types of OD car insurance – a standard yearly plan and a temporary OD cover that offers coverage ​​from one month to a couple of months. You can also opt for a long-term comprehensive bundled plan that can be bought ​for up to 3 years*.

What is IDV in Car Insurance?

IDV in standalone OD car insurance refers to the maximum value your car can be insured for. It is usually derived from the current market price of the vehicle. Suppose your insured car is stolen or damaged beyond repair. In this case, you will receive a settlement amount equal to the decided IDV after subtracting the depreciation value. Moreover, the IDV of your car is directly linked to the premiums of own-damage car insurance. The higher the IDV, the higher your premium amount will be.

Should I purchase own-damage car insurance online?

Yes. Purchasing own-damage car insurance online will help you avail yourself of up to 90%* discounts. This can help you reduce your premiums to a great extent.
