Courtesy car - his fault

intellix

Hi, i had an accident a few months back and straight away he was saying he was sorry and basically admitting it, i thought it was going to be a straight forward his insurance paying me for my car write-off.
But then he started to dispute the claim apparently i squeezed between him and the parking space and i was going towards the exit and he was going the wrong way in a carpark towards it.

Im 19 years old with less than a years driving experience and was given a 150BHP 2007 Sports Astra which made me very pleased ive had it now for about 10 weeks but the other day they said unfortunately they have to terminate the hire vehicle because its costing them 3 times as much (i can imagine)

So now, im left without a vehicle when it wasnt even my fault. Im still waiting for a cheque but their side are being extremely stubborn and completely disputing it so ill probably be left without a car for ages.

I dont have courtesy car cover with my insurance but i understand from this experience that this is only available if its your fault and im guessing the solicitors that got me a courtesy car were hoping to claim what they spend on my courtesy car back.

Is there any way for me to get a courtesy car say a smaller and slower vehicle whilst everything is sorted out because im losing out of transport to college/work when i feel that i didnt do anything wrong. If i was to get a taxi everywhere/bus im guessing i would need to save receipts and claim that back in the end, although i would DEFINATELY prefer a car.

Thanks for reading the lengthy post, and any replies

unfortunatly at 19 most hire firms wont touch you.
think you have done well so far.
only option is to pay for a hire car and claim it off the other party.
its a courtesy car not a right im afraid.if you have no hire car cover then what ive outlined above would be your only action i think
