The world's fastest man was returning from a party with friends in the early hours of Sunday when he was involved in a so-called "fender bender" in Kingston.
Police said Bolt crashed his BMW coupe shortly before dawn and the cause of the incident was under investigation.
The athlete's publicist Carole Beckford said "there were no injuries at all" and the three-time Olympic champion was "fine and resting at home".
Jamaican reports said fellow sprinter Asafa Powell was travelling in another car at the time and was at the scene of the crash.
Bolt and Powell had just returned to the country after competing at the Diamond League meet in Norway.
The accident comes just 47 days before the start of the London Olympics - but before then Bolt will run at the Jamaica National Championship, which serves as a trial for selecting a Games team.
The 100m and 200m world record holder was involved in a crash in 2009 when he totalled another BMW after swerving into a ditch along a busy Jamaican highway.
Bolt suffered minor injuries to his feet in that accident and was back in training weeks later.
