What to do if I had an accident yesterday and we agreed to leave without call the police or not even leave each others contact information?

In this case, should I call my insurance company to repair my car? I have comprehensive insurance.

Yes, if you have agreed to not involve each other's insurance company and you do not even have contact information for the other driver involved, you options are to use your own carrier to cover your damages or pay for them out of pocket, which might be the best idea if you damages are less than the amount of your deductible.
