Or, you could just leave it there and tell people it is a scar that the car can bear because it add character. That is entirely up to you but if you want to keep your car in pristine looking condition you will probably want to get it repaired. Now, how you get it repaired is down to how it actually happened in the first place. If you caused the dent yourself by being somewhat neglectful or unobservant you will definitely be shouldering the cost of repairs. If someone else did it they should contact their insurance company and put a claim in to get the repairs done for you. If it was an ‘act of nature’ then you, again, have to swallow the cost unless your insurance policy covers it.
Policy Differences
If you have liability you will only be able to your own car repaired if someone else is responsible for the dent. You will do this by exchanging your insurance details and the insurance companies will duke it out to deny the claim before someone threatens to take it to court. Then the insurance companies will send an assessor to view it, put you an offer on the table, you reject it, the up the offer and you settle. If you have fully comprehensive you can have any self-inflicted damage repaired from your own policy provided you pay for the deductible. You can also choose to pay for yourself without involving your insurance company but, bear in mind that depending on the nature of the damage you might still have to report it to them.
