Hit a parked car what do I do?

Today, I was picking up my sister in my mom van which is huge. I under estimated how much room I had and I broke the light. I waited 30 minutes for the owner and I'm still waiting(on a mobile phone posting this). I searched on my iPhone a car repair shop and its 300$(incl labor) for the light. So I took out 500$ from the bank ready to give for him.

I can't be waiting forever so what should I do? I don't want it to go through insurance or else it will go up cause i'm 17…

Do I just wait for him to show up or leave a note? I'm giving him an extra 200 if he does show up for the trouble.

Leave your info on the car. It's up to the vehicle owner to decide where he wants to have his vehicle repaired. You don't have that option since you hit his car. The gesture is nice, but it's the other person's decision on how he wants his vehicle repaired. It's up to you if you want to notify the police or not but I don't suggest you leaving the scene w/o leaving your contact info. You'll be in alot more trouble for hit and run by leaving.

Sounds like you're doing the right thing. You could leave a note with your phone number on it but it might be better in person. I would think if its a parking lot it shouldn't be too long unless its a employee.

Leave a note on the car I doubt you wanna deal with a hit and run…

Stop driving.

If you can see damage that you caused then simply write a note like this:

Today's date
I'm sorry but I accidentally hit your back bumper and caused a small dent/scratch. My name is ___ (leave first name only) Here is my phone number. I waited for 30 minutes but you didn't show up so I'm leaving this note instead. Again I'm sorry. Please call me and leave a message if I'm unavailable.

Then tuck the note under their driver side wiper

Leave a note on his windshield telling him your name and phone number.

Leave a note with your phone number to call you. Talk to him there. Not a good idea to pay cash here. But if you do get a recite for it.
