If the other car is at fault, file a claim with the other car's insurance company.
If your car is repairable, they should pay for repairs and get you a rent car.
If your car is totaled, you do not get a rent car and only get the fair market value of the car before it was damaged. It does not matter how much you may owe on a car loan.
In the alternative, you can pay your deductible and get your car repaired on your own auto ins. policy.

The quickest way is to have your insurer fix it if you have coverage for collision.
