Reason you don't want to involve your insurance sometimes, is they will write the car off,  hence deal with the other parties company if they won't pay for repair, most large transport companies would rather try to sort the incident,in house,to keep there premium low. 

It can be more cost effective to pay directly, than involve insurance..

Al, if you report it to your insurance company, thney will hold it against you somehow (I know, from bitter experience), either on a knock-for-knock basis, if they can, or in your next premium.

Found that when Swinton sent me the next years renewal notice after mine was written off. Went from under £200 to £350 +.

Yes, they are happy to collect your premiums, but so reluctant to pay out.
