I've only had one experience with this. I called them, told them I needed a car, and they contacted a rental agency and gave them their payment info. If you need a truck, tell them you have to have a truck. I probably talked to the other insurance company 10 times and wrote 4-5 letters before we got it settled. I called my insurance agent and asked what to do. I recommend you call your insurance guy. He should be good for some guidance.
DON'T ACCEPT ANY INJURY SETTLEMENT FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS! The are quick to try to get you to absolve them of blame for personal injury. Even if they send you a check, don't cash it until you KNOW you are OK. Like I said, it took months for the fracture in my tooth to finally let go.
