Our car was bumped while parked today. Other driver left their phone number.

Guessing it's a few hundred pounds of damage. Not worth claiming from our insurance - and I doubt the other driver will want to put a claim on theirs.

Should we still inform our insurance? And if we do, will it affect our costs in the future at all?

Yes, and yes.

Exactly when you inform them depends on your policy wording and your conscience.
