Lots of people on here saying this, but in my experience I have not had any issues doing this. I will still give people the opportunity to avoid using their insurance in the case of minor incidents.

If you have their insurance info and they start waffling on paying its not hard to pivot back to using insurance. Why not at least try to be accommodating?
