    Your policy will tell you what you need to know.

    mine says something like I must tell them....

    Before changing car or allowing a new driver

    Immediately on change of address or incidents that might give rise to a claim

    At renewal for convictions

    you must tell your insurance but if you want to sort it out yourself you can tell them you are informing them for information purposes only.

    I would inform your insurance immediately. My son was in a similar situation to yours. Paint scratch to their car and no damage to his car but the people in the car in front have both put in personal injury claims.
