When I had my accident (lady hit me) I told her insurance I needed a large vehicle to get around. They showed up to the repair center with a 2017 RAM 1500 4x4 with tow package. Price from rental company was $47 per day, insurance only wanted to do $39 per day. Rental company agreed to the $39 per day the insurance company was paying. Only cost me the price of gas.
I had this same experience with my Explorer. It had to get some body work done due to a fender bender that was the other person's fault, in winter, so I said that I required a comparable rental vehicle. This cost quite a bit more than what the other person's insurance wanted to pay, but I let them and the rental company hash it out. In the end, I think the rental company (Enterprise), and the other person's insurance (Grange) met somewhere in the middle, and I ended up with zero out of pocket to get a loaded GMC Acadia for 2 weeks.
I think the key here was to get it hashed out before I took possession of the rental vehicle. I know OP was in more of a hurry though, so maybe that wasn't possible.
