Your deductible only gets paid in the event of a claim. For example, you tap a light pole in the mall parking lot. The pole is ok but your car is damaged. If you have comprehensive coverage on your car, your insurance company will pay a claim to have it repaired. So, you get a body shop who says it will cost $1,400 to fit it. If your deductible is, say, $500.00, your insurance company cuts a check to the body shop for $900.00 which is the difference between the damage repair bill and the deductible. Thus, you must come up with the $500.00 amount.

This would be dependent on the insurance you have. If you know who hit your car and have all of the pertinent information, you probably should not have to pay the deductible.

Are you responsible for the deductible on the insurance of the car you hit if you do not have insurance?

If you were legally at fault, you are responsible to pay all damages to other vehicle. Even if you pay the other persons deductible, that insurance co. will come after you for total amount. The person that you gave the money to for their deductible will then have to give some of that back to insurance co., if they find out that deductible was given to him (her) by you.

No. The other person's insurance should pay everything, including your rental car use during the time that your car is being repaired. UNLESS the person that hit you is claiming innocence and there were no witnesses. Then you may have to pay the deductible if your insurance company can not get them to pay.
