I think the damage is covered by their uninsured motorist coverage. If the driver had stayed and reported the incident it would have been paid by the driver's property damage coverage. However, since the driver left, there is no insurance to cover the damage.
Collision covers damages to your car when YOU hit something. Comprehensive covers damages when something other than a car hits your car. This should be under UM or UM-PD (depending on the state). If it is under UM they shouldn't have to pay a deductible.
