What should you do if you rear ended a parked car but the owner said there wasn't any damage and didn't want your insurance info or to call the police but 4 days later called and wants me to do so?

File the claim. That's what you have insurance for. He probably made a few phone calls and got 'sticker shock' at the cost of even minimal damage repair. Or maybe someone convinced him he should file the claim. Either way, just file the claim with your carrier. Waiting and second-guessing will just get costlier for everyone involved.Don't worry about no police report being made. Adjusters conduct their own investigation anyway; police reports are useful for details about the vehicles, the location, and the drivers, but they DO NOT make the liability decisions. They are not employed by the insurance company - the company hires adjusters to make the liability decisions. Police officers are interested in civil traffic code and issuing citations; insurance carriers are interested in far more detail about the accident than police reprots offer.

If your parked car was involved in a hit-and-run with damage less than your deductible and you filed a police report do you have to notify your insurance?
No. But they won't pay for it of course. =)
You live in Iowa have a new car no Driver license but your car is hit while parked in a parking lot- what should you do?
Hopefully you have insurance. Call the police, if you weren't driving the vehicle at the time of impact, then it shouldn't matter that you don't have a license. After the police have filed a report, file a claim with your insurance company. If you have no insurance, call the police anyway. But know that you will have to foot the bill for all damage because you don't have insurance.

tell your insurance company and the police and your insurance company will pay everything except the deductible. If you have full coverage than your insurance is required to make good on the damage. It is up to your insurance company to try and get their money back from the uninsured driver of the other vehicle.

If car is parked without insurance can police take it?
the police can only take your car if you have a violation. they can't take your car without any violation even if it doesn't have any insurance. What country are you in?
