Any car rental places that aren't stupid?
I need to take my car in for body repair so I was pricing rental cars and suddenly remembered that they like to really screw you over if you aren't 25. Enterprise seems to be the only rental agency that will even rent to you at all if you are under 25, and even then they tack on $15 a day extra for being underage. My insurance company only covers up to $25 per day for a car rental. The cheapest I can seem to get a car for one week is $300 including that stupid underage fee. Is there any way around this or any way to have my insurance company pay for the difference as well? The accident was the other guy's fault, should I contact his insurance company and have them pay for my rental car in full?

Contact your insurance company. I got into an accident and it wasn't my fault. I had an SUV at the time and the rental would have been a compact ($25/day or something like that). I called my insurance company and told them that I had a dog and required a bigger car. At first they were hesitant, but I told them that why should I be pay for what I need or drive what is insufficient whent it's NOT my fault. They said OK, just pay for it first and they will reimburse me and get it from the other guys insurance co. Make sure you get it either in writing or confirmed with a manager.
I don't see your case as being any different.
