A few nights ago, a random car hit my front bumber causing considerable damage. My car was parked on the street at the time and I was at home (NSW). The perpetrators left without leaving a note.

After checking the CCTV, I found the number plate of the car, the plates happened to be from Queensland. I filed a report with the local police station. I also did a rego check on the QLD gov website and the results showed that this was a 'Rental (self driver rental)'.

No further updates from the police. Is there any way I can find the rental company this car belongs to? Any help would be appreciated.

    Keep pressuring the police. I hope you have insurance

    I assume any upstanding ozbargain member would simply hand the details of the accident, police report number, and all known information about the offending vehicle to their insurance company and sit back.

    Is this not an option?

      I've only got third party insurance with NRMA on this car. Could NRMA assist in this scenario given I only have third party?

        Dunno

        NRMA Third Party Property Damage Car Insurance covers damage to your car caused by an at-fault uninsured driver up to $5000.

        Perhaps NRMA would be better to answer such qusstions

        What do you mean by "third party insurance"? Third Party Property or Compulsory Third Party?

          This is the real question.

          Third party property.

    my front bumber

    So you were rear ended 🤔

    • DashCam AKA Rolts on 01/02/2025 - 18:16

      It's the part below the bonut and in front of the tires.

    Good luck with the police… A similar thing happened to me and I found the police absolutely useless.

      I got hit from behind a couple of years ago and the guy drove off. Took the video footage to the cops and they got him to admit fault

    No diagram?

    Curious if OP's car was legally parked.

    Concerned if illegally parked on the road it may not even attract third party protection.

      Legally parked on a one way road. The other car was driving in the wrong direction and found a parking spot in front of my car. They parked in that spot illegally (car was facing the wrong direction). Few minutes later they were leaving and began doing a u-turn out of the parking spot and they hit my bumper in the process.

    Advise the police you want to pursue civil action and require the details

    Insurance can run a search on the plate. It can take a few months.
