Legal Question in Insurance Law in Indiana

i was in an accident two months ago the other driver was at fault he rented a vehicle from hertz, hertz is self insured i was told by the person handling the claim that my vehicle is deemed a total lost. to my understanding if a vehicle is deemed a total lost that the paying party would have to buy out the damaged vehicle. i was given a very unreasonable paying dollar amount that leaves me with two options keeping the car and still having a high car payment or leaving me with no vehicle. at this point i'm very unsure what to do i don't want to be left without a vehicle
