**** Yes, they do have insurance.
I've already got two quotes for the repair.
One quote was for $1500 using old parts.
The other quote was for $3000 using new parts - if they can be found.

If the repair costs more than the car is worth, how does the insurance
handle this?

I dont have collision insurance on this old car, just liability. My
insurance company wont handle this. They said to contact the other driver's
insurance company.
