How "minor" the damage is has nothing to do with it, in the eyes of the law. You are obligated to call the insurance company immediately to protect your own legal position.

If you hit a parked car and the damage is over your deductible how does that work?
If you hit a parked car, the deductible applies to your vehicle, not the parked car. The other vehicle is covered by your liability coverage and there is no deductible attached. You pay the deductible on the repairs to your vehicle, usually to the shop after the work is completed, the insurance company handles the balance directly.

Your parked car was hit will the at fault drivers insurance cover damages?
If you know who hit your car, and they have insurance, then, yes, they should pay for it, so long as you were not parked illegally. Let YOUR insurance company handle this for you. That's what you pay them for.
What if someone hits my car while parked and i don't have car insurance?
Several things can happen. Allowing you parked legally other than insurance: the person who hit your parked car is responsible to pay damage. If you were parked on private property the lack of insurance means nothing. If you were parked on a public road or public parking lot you could be on the hook for a ticket for uninsured vehicle, but the other guy should pay anyway. Don't admit to driving with out insurance!
