It is worthless to try and speak with insurance companies unless you are filing a claim.
If you have a broker, they are generally helpful...if you speak direct, I agree with you... an agent is different than customer rep. I wouldn't call directly to the company and identify yourself and then ask...

If the deductible is $500 and you can swallow another $500...then it's worth it to do it yourself... an accident is an accident... that's different than road hazard damage... I only chimed in since I saw some advice that wasn't as prudent to me.
