Is an insurance company liable for a rental car while I wait for the appraisal?

I was told that I could be present during the appraisal o the damage to my car in an accident where I was not at fault. they didn’t call but just came and appraised it. I called and asked or another, they set one up but the appraiser never showed. So they set one up for a week after that, all the while no car. By the way this is the insurance company of the other driver.
