OD-KFK – HOW IT WORKS
(OD = Own Damage; KFK = Knock for Knock)
When OD-KFK is Apply
When your private vehicle (comprehensive policy) is damaged by another vehicle in an accident and you are not at fault:
- You claim the repair costs using your own insurer under the OD-KFK scheme.
- Your No-Claim Discount (NCD) is not affected.
- Your insurer handles the repair and subsequently recovers the cost from the other party’s insurer at fault.
- The process is typically faster and more convenient, as you only deal with your own insurer.
When OD-KFK Does Not Apply
OD-KFK claims are not applicable if:
- There is third-party bodily injury, regardless of who is at fault.
- The other party’s vehicle is a commercial vehicle (e.g., bus, taxi, limousine, hire-and-drive).
- The other vehicle is foreign-registered or insured by a non-Malaysian insurer.
Summary Table
REAL CASE EXAMPLE:
One user described an incident where their private car was hit by a tour bus. The insurer told them that OD-KFK does not apply in such cases, because buses are excluded, even though the user was not at fault. As a result, they had to claim under Own Damage, which reset their NCD.
