What to do if my car was totaled and the other party’s insurance will only cover a rental car for2 days?

I was rear-ended. The at fault party has provided a lawyer this far but now the car has been deemed totaled and they will only give me two more days for a rental car. In 2 days I m required to fill out all the forms, get them notarized, mail them, get a check back in the mail and buy a new car. This is there policy. I need more time and I need a car or I will miss school, work, and a conference I already paid for to attend. What can I do?
