Your insurance company won't cover it, but the persons who hit you will.
You will have to claim against them for the costs and repairs required.
as PePPeR says,
claim against who ever hit you,
Where your lights and number plate visible,if not the other persons insurer may refuse your claim., if all ok, make a clim against their insurance,via a bike insurance company, dont forget to claim for the ineveitable whiplash,bikes and bike rack, also hire of replacement car and bike rack and bikes.

offer a good service and they ride bikes as well.
DOH !
Meant to add ...
Start by writing to the other insurance company as soon as possible informing them of your intent, don't wait for estimates, they can follow on later
will do, the bike rack would just need two legs as its one of those saris bones 3, think the week old haro marys dead, dont fancy doing any off roadin with dent that big in the down tube, the 10yr old clockwork survived just got a lil more bend in the wheel lol.
