I got hit by a council gritter. Entirely their fault. Their insurance paid. My premiums went up as 'statistically I'm more likely to have another accident', this was 8 years ago. Haven't had so much as a prang since. Bastards.

My cheapest renewal quote doubled after a prang, as you now become a very high risk, the no claims protection means tulip, I still have full no claims discount, but every quote is double the ones pre-prang.
And you have to put it on every fricking quote for about the next 5 years, with dates and details.
Just get some garage quotes and fix it or live with it.

would it be cheaper to pay for the repair or claim on the insurance.
she asked me, and I don't have a clue
Put the details on and see what quotes you get. You dont have to take the lowest quote either.

Was the accident in the car park, I wonder?
I bet they don't do car hire :

Call some ambulance chasers. Tell them your wife is suffering PTSD.
As no one on here has seen the car or the damage its pretty hard to say how much it will cost to fix, also given we don't know the details of your policy and the excess detailed, I will just go for the stock answer
"What does your accountant say?"

Depends on how bad the damage is. Front, rear, bumper, wing? it also depends on how new the car is, if it's a £500 banger, then it adds to the character. Is it just a dent, or is there a crease?
Take it to a garage and ask.
