FAQs

Q1. Is own damage a mandatory cover?

Ans: No. An OD cover is not a mandatory cover as per the motor laws of India. With the new guidelines of IRDAI, purchasing a OD cover along with a 3 year third party coverage is not mandatory anymore. Thus you will have the option to purchase or renew this cover for the second year.
Q2. What is the period of own damage cover?

Ans: An OD cover can be purchased for a period of 1 year after which it has to be renewed.
Q3. How to claim Cholamandalam car insurance for own damages?
Ans: To raise a claim under Cholamandalam own damage car insurance, you can follow the steps mentioned below:
- Call the insurance company and inform them about the damages to your car
- A surveyor will now be appointed to assess the damages sustained by your vehicle
- Submit all the required documents and get them verified
- Once verified, your car will be sent to the network garage for repairs and the claim will be settled by the insurer.
Q4. Who is eligible to buy a Chola OD cover?

Ans: Any car owner who has bought his/her car after 1st September 2018 and has a TP cover for 3 year is eligible to purchase a Cholamandalam standalone own damage car insurance.
Q5. What is the difference between an own damage and third party insurance?

Ans: A third party liability insurance covers any third party damages caused due to an insured car. It compensates for third party property damage, death and injury of the third person. Whereas an OD cover only covers any own damage sustained by the insured car due to unforeseen incidents such as accidents, theft, fire, etc. This policy can be purchased along with the mandatory third party car insurance to extend coverage to own damages as well.
