I was rear ended tonight :(

Just had stopped at a red light, and I heard it. Not more than a second later I felt it. A minivan hit the Corolla behind me which then hit me. My bumper needs replaced, nothing else. This could have been alot worse, but still pisses me off that it happend. The Corolla was hit hard. The trunk area and bumper were trashed. Good thing he didn't pull up right behind me...
The comic relief (sort-of): After we got out of our cars, the middle-aged woman in the minivan told us that someone had initially hit her and drove away from the scene. We bought the story until we looked at the back of her van: no damage!! We then noticed that she was slurring her words. The cops showed up and hauled her away for drunk driving. Kinda funny the story she told, but kinda scary that a drunk driver right behind us.
Now I get to call the insurance in the morning. Do I need to know anything special to say? Does the insurance force you to fix the car at where they say, or may I choose? This is my baby and I don't want just anyone fixing it! Also, since the van driver was at fault, but the Corolla hit me, who covers my car? Being 18, will I get a rental car? (I need a car EVERY day).
Thx for your help.
