A $13k claim would make that increase in premium quite significant, though, for a <4 mph ding that would normally be settled by both parties without any insurance involvement.

For comparison, the average "newer used" (1-3 years old) car in 2017 sold for $15374, so a low speed car park ding cost almost as much as destroying a nearly-new car.
