the guilty party pays all the costs
This uninsured loss is recoverable from the third party/their insurers and assuming they have insurance or the means to pay it if they don't have insurance, the net impact will be nil but in the interim it could be payable.
If they claim directly from the third party insurers then there is never an excess to pay but to do requires liability and indemnity to have been resolved prior to them being willing to deal with the OP.0 -

The general principle seems to be that a car park is not a public place if the landowner or operator does not define it as such. Admission to a special class of persons, such as employees of a company using a company car park, does not a public place make. As such, all this stuff about failing to report does not apply. You can still pursue the matter privately or via insurance, however.0
