Yes, you most certainly can. In fact it's often the best thing if the damage is slight, as the resulting increase in insurance premiums, can be quite expensive over 3-4 years. You might find that your excess (if you have any on your policy) is more than the cost of the repair anyway.
Just ensure that you get 2-3 quotes for the repair to ensure that you aren't taken for a ride.
You might also make a small offer to reimburse the other party for the additional nuisance which insurers usually deal with, say 20GBP
After all, in law, you should put the other party in the position they were in before you ran into them.

it if you have an accidents, claims can be settled by payment

You can certainly make the offer, but it's up to the other party if he or she accepts

Yeah you can ask them to come back to you with a quote.........
But obviously you won't know if they are stitching you up, say you will send a cheque to the garage direct

You can, but you are still supposed to inform your insurance company.
