They shouldn't increase your rates. Usually they only do that if your at fault. If not report them to your local state insurance commissioner.

^ Cosign. It's happened to me in the past, and I just paid the deductible. No rate changes.

its a bit more than a ding... its also 2 chips in the paint farter away... the expensive part is the re-paint... to blend it all so it dont look shitty... plus they have to remove some peices for the re-paint... i am getting other estimates tho

I don't think they'll increase your rates. It wasn't your fault.

If you have a claim with your insurance company...it will cause your rate to increase....no matter whose fault it is. At least thats how it works around here. (Atlantic Canada)

Complete repaint? At least you'll have a Fit with decent paint on it.

I have been bitching for the past 2 months about a girl that had her car touching mine in the parking lot at school. All she left were 2 bolt marks from her plate but it was annoying, and cost me a $100 deductible
