Normally Traffic department waits for 1 week, if someone comes and claims the accident. Otherwise you have to go after 1 week, they will issue the police paper. You haev to pay 100 QAR in Traffic department. Then you have to go to Insurance firm, they will chrge you 300 QAR ( even if its not your mistakes. you can get your repaired then.

Molten metal: i dont think so that i m going to catch the criminal ever. A sensible law abiding person should have left a note with his contact details.

Hope you catch the culprit, Always park your car there in advance by about 10 minutes & watch from a distance, you will notice one guy / gal would definitely come there & check the front area where he has caused the damage ... then you can catch the careless person & question the fellow there itself ............ .... I am sure the person will dead sure come back there , as no body can live without checking the damage caused with carelessness .......... Good luck my pal ................ .........

Premium should not be affected as its not my mistake. I think this is ridiculous policy from insurance companies here.

The police will issue you with a report authorizing repair of the vehicle. Since you have comprehensive insurance, all you should pay is the deductible - if any

unfortunately .. this is very common in Qatar ... i just got my car repainted and someone has already put a small dent in it at my office (in old salata :D)

your insurance company will cover it .. however your premium will be affected when you go to renew it next year

Insurance company is saying to contact traffic police dept. i have already filed my complain today. They have told me to come after one week. Still i have no idea whether i have to pay anything for repair or not as other party is unknown.

Contact your insurance company and file a report at the police station. Take some pictures of the location and the damage
