How much will it cost to fix a bumper?
I had a little fender bender over the weekend. No one was hurt; only my car’s bumper was damaged. How much will it cost to fix my bumper?

I’m sorry to hear about your accident, though I’m glad nobody was injured. The cost to fix a bumper can vary, meaning you could pay as little as $50 to as much as $5,000.
How much it costs to fix a bumper depends on several variables, including:
- The make and model of the car
- The extent of the damage
- The bumper’s material
- Where you go and the cost of labor
That said, here are some of the more common types of repairs and what they usually cost:
- Filling cracks and holes: Typically ranges from $300 to $500.
- Paintless dent repair: This doesn’t apply to plastic bumpers (which get buffed) or damages where paint has been scuffed or damaged. Usually in the neighborhood of $75 to $500.
- Standard dent repair: Most dent repairs cost between $100 and $600, on average.
- Scratch repair: This can range anywhere from $50 to $600, depending on the size of the scratch, whether it can be buffed out, or if it needs more extensive work.
- Replacing the bumper: The most expensive and time-consuming option, replacing a bumper typically costs somewhere between $800 and $5,000. The parts are usually $500 to $2,000 and extensive labor is usually involved.
If you have
collision coverage
, this will usually pay for bumper repairs, regardless of who is at fault. However, you are subject to your deductible, so the bumper repair will need to cost more than that for your insurance to kick in. Once you’ve got your bumper taken care of, consider taking some extra time to review your car insurance coverage with the
Jerry
app. Once you download Jerry, answer a handful of questions that will take you roughly 45 seconds to complete and you’ll immediately get car insurance quotes for coverage similar to your current plan. Jerry customers save an average of $887 a year.View full answer
