Kotak Mahindra Own Damage Car Insurance

Standalone own-damage car insurance is one of the three basic types of car insurance offered by Kotak Mahindra General Insurance. It offers a layer of protection for owner-drivers from the uncertainties of the road. The cover provides compensation for own-damage costs in case of a mishap including cases of theft, vandalism, fires, explosions, road accidents, and calamities both natural and manmade. This cover is not compulsory like third-party insurance. However, it is advisable to purchase it all the same as it provides enhanced coverage compared to simply having third-party insurance.
