Thank you for your responses. I'm going to talk to the auto body guys
to sse whether they can get it replaced on the same day.

Should I be getting
rental car coverage from the other party? If so, what should I do if
they say no to me? What are the common practices? Please advice.
It depends on the law in your state, etc., etc.
If all you need is just a rear bumper replacement you may not even need the
rental car. This only takes a day or two. I had my front bumper wrecked a few
years back--- and the body shop painted the bumper and then put it on the car.
It was a pretty quick job. In some cases, the body shop may not even to paint
the bumper--- they might be able to buy one which is already the correct color.
The standard rent-a-car rate in the typical insurance policy is $15/day which
is not really enough to rent a car anyway. That's probably not much of a
consolation to you :-)
