For determining an estimate of the collision damage to a car, a body part (3) of the car is displayed in a user interface (100). Through the user interface (100), input is received from the user for drawing on the body part (3) one or more damaged areas (4c, 5c). Specifically, the damaged areas (4c, 5c) are defined in each case by an outline of the damaged areas (4c, 5c), drawn on the body part (3) by way of a drawing tool (108, 108') or as detected from an image. Subsequently, an estimate of the repair cost (C) and the repair time (T) is generated for the user, based on the damaged area (4c, 5c) drawn on the body part (3). Enabling the user to define the outlines of damaged areas (4c, 5c) makes it possible to define and estimate efficiently, flexibly, and accurately collision damage to a car.
