I wouldn't go through insurance. This is pretty minor and the bumper just needs minimal work and paint. The hood can be repaired.

Hmmm, having just gone through repairs to both front and rear bumpers on my '09 with less damage to them than the OP's I'd say that even though the damage isn't very bad, the repair cost isn't going to be cheap. There's probably $1,000 - $1,200 in repairs to the bumper and another $800 - $1,000 on the hood (assuming the hood just needs to be hammered out and repainted).

OP: You might as well use your insurance policy; they'll cover everything (minus your deductible, of course). Also check and see if you have rental car coverage while your car is in the shop.

I just had a somewhat similar wreck and my quoted price was over $3,000. Of course, I had to have a healight replaced which was a huge chunk of the cost.
