Rental cars.

Rental cars can be provided by the at-fault insurance company if they want to, but they don’t have to volunteer a rental car and can refuse your request for a rental car. If your own first party UIM/PIP insurance company has rental car coverage, that may be a good option to get a rental car, even if you have to pay your deductible first. Deductibles and the cost of rental cars can be reimbursed through the at-fault insurance company settlement.
