It depends whether or not they are going to right the car off.
if they are going to right it off then they can take the courtesy car off you
(i'm not a lawyer so i am not 100%) but if they are repairing it then you cannnot be without wheels.
Try and reason with them first before you start getting shirty and see what they say and explain your situation and if that fails then get shirty.
i am in a similar situation at the moment due to an argument with a steel post

First point of call, read you policy documents and check what you are entitled to.......
