Default Got Hailed on S*** don't know if insurance will cover

Ahhhhh we got some hail today in PHX I don't know what to do. I was walking back to my jeep at walmart and all of a sudden hear a bunch of banging noices like I was being shot at. It was hailing, after the hail everyone in the parking lot was calling about hail damage.
I counted around 26 dings, about 6 on the hood, 5 on the front passenger side fender, 1 big one on the piece between the hood and the windshield I think its called the coil, 2 on the rear passenger side fender, and 8 on the passenger side door.







I don't know what to do if insurance will cover it or not, cause I have a $1000 deductible. If I call it in should I expect my insurance to raise up? They all look like door dings.

What Should I do?

I can't simply just pop up some of the ones on the hood because there are being blocked by the supporting frame of the hood.

Call your company! There are going to be many claims as a result of your storm. Body shops can do amazing things with these small dents. You may be able to work something out with you body shop!

I'm thinking about just covering the one on the rear fender up with a corner guard

Exactly.

This is why you send them a check every month.

There are places that specialize in fixing those. Pretty common here on CO.

You'll want paint less dent removal. It will work for you, unfortunately if you comp deduct ins 1000. looks like this will be mostly on your tab.

Your insurance rate shouldn't go up due to mother nature. Now, if you drove past the "road closed flooded bridge" sign and called it in, then it would go up on stupidity.

I was at walmart, so would they still put into effect my deductible at $1000 even though it was a mother nature thing?
