i had a wee bump in my car at the start of the year. did the same as you and just decided to sort it without getting insurance involved. The woman i hit had a quote to get her car repaired for £150 and I think the excess on my car policy was £75. A no brainer really when you consider the bump in premiums that would result in a claim.
Anway. when I went up to pay her I made her sign a statement that the money I had paid settled her claim in full. Whether it would stand up in court is another matter if it came to that, but it made me feel better doing it that way and the woman didnt seem to mind signing it either.
