to claim or not to claim

[ckc123]

I was involved in a fender bender the other day - I was at fault - I do not dispute this. I would estimate the damage to the other car to be about 1500euro. I currently have fully comp insurance and a no claims bonus. Is it worth claiming or should I pay this out of my own pocket? Any experience with this?
Thanks.

it depends on a number of things,
have you got no claims bonus protection ? or do you risk loosing your no claims bonus ?
if you claim your insurance premium will go up so you have to weight that against the cost of repairing the car
have a look at your insurance premium to see what it says about making a claim
