Help..Scraped/Scratched my car

I was backing up out of a tight space late last night, I have dark tints and it affected my vision and I slightly scraped another vehicle. Its scratched on the rear passenger side, on the bumper and a lil above it. I didn't know what to do and it looks horrible. I take such good care of my car while this has never happened to me. I have insurance but I honestly don't know what to do. I can post pics but ADVICE please

insurance will pay for it. if you say someone hit you in the parkinglot, your own insurance will pay for it cause you do not have insurance information of the "person" who did it atleast thats how it works over here

and i guess you do not have park distance control? get a new bumper with it

Ummm...... what about the other vehicle ??. Did you cause damage to the other car ?. If so, (and assuming the owner was not at the scene), did you leave your contact details ??. I just hope you are as concerned for the damage your inflicted as you are for your car.

insurance will pay sure

but you will have to pay the deductible which is usually pricey...

What are you asking for advice for? You hit another car and scratched yours. Get an estimate. See how much it is out of pocket vs insurance and do whatever costs less in the long run.
