Car insurance!

Our car was damaged due to an idiot speeding around a corner over the white line (country road). My daughter who was driving and insured had to swerve to avoid a collision and she was forced into a hedge. Her Dad was with her but she was obviously pretty shaken and the other driver just kept going. We have a dashcam but could not make out the reg on the other car.
So to get to the point we have insurance to cover us to rent a car for 28 days but the company is now saying they are taking the rental car back and will not honour the contract. If this happens we will have to pay over £200 to rent a car as we have to get to school/work as we live rurally. AIBU to think they can't do this? My DH is really stressed at the moment and I am so worried this is going to tip him over the edge. He usually takes things in his stride but has not been sleeping and is under a lot of pressure at work. Has anyone got any advice? Are we in our rights to just keep the car or would we then get into more problems? We should have the car for 10 more day. WWYD?

Does is say 28 days or up to 28 days? Often is will say 7 days after the payout.
