When you buy an insurance on your asset, you are essentially buying a put option on your asset for protection much like the Protective Put options trading strategy. As such, to the insurer, they are actually selling a naked put option to the buyer of the insurance.

Do I have to call my insurance company if other car hit my car and gave me his insurance company's info?

In general, yes. You are best advised to first call the other insurance company and see if the other person has reported the accident. If not, you can try to report it yourself, but the insurer will probably wait to resolve the claim with you until it has spoken with its insured and concluded its investigation. You should not assume that the other person's insurer will agree that its insured was at fault. Therefore, it is wise to report the collision to your own insurer too. If you have collision coverage (to fix your own car), the policy will require a prompt report of the collision and will give your own insurer the right to inspect the damage and prepare an estimate that it will pay. If the other party, or his/her insurer believes that you were responsible for the collision, a claim may be asserted against you.


What is minimum age a minor can be insured?

There are many kinds of insurance. If you are asking about life insurance or health insurance, the minimum age is "at birth." If you are asking about auto insurance, the minimum age is "when they receive their driving permit." Call the insurer the day the permit is issued to have the child added to the parents' policy. I cannot speak to all insurers, but Geico (my insurer) doesn't charge premiums for kids who have driving permits, but does charge when they receive their license.
