Small Dent: Claim Insurance or Pay Privately?
For a single door ding, paying privately is usually cheaper than your excess, and it keeps the claim off your record. We quote it first so you decide with real numbers, not guesswork. For your broader rights and claims process, see Insurance & Claims → For the repair itself, see Dent Removal →
The Maths on a Single Ding
Compare the private paintless-removal price against your excess plus the years of premium loading a claim can trigger. For one small dent, the private number usually wins.
When It Tips the Other Way
Multiple dents, or damage beyond what PDR can fix, changes the calculation. That’s when the claim starts making more sense than paying out of pocket.
