Nothing. The insurance will cover all damage to the other car (Less the Excess).

He'll have to pay the damage to his car.

yeah...covered for the damage to the other guys car less excess but will have to sort out his own motor

I thought that the excess was only relevant to any claims you make on your own vehicle. Your friends insurance company pays for the damage caused in full.

I had an accident just before xmas last year where I skidded out of control and hit a garden wall, smashed into a parked Corsa and nearly killed 2 pedestrians. I was fully comp and was offered the market value of my vehicle less my excess. I didn't have to pay any excess as far as damage to the garden wall or the Corsa was concerned. My insurance company paid for the damage in full. I hit black ice by the way...

I always had to pay excess my fault or not.......wankers.
