Sounds painful, sorry. I'm assuming biking, car-pooling, and borrowing a car are not going to work for you. Time is not on your side. Try to speed things up. Is your car totaled? Get an answer asap. Some rental places have good discounts for month-long rentals - prices vary wildly so shop around and around. Your insurance should restore your car to you (minus your deductible) or pay you what it was worth. Would be nice to get your car back asap, but if not, start shopping the used car market so you can move as soon as you have the $$. source - I had to rent a car for almost 2 months last summer in similar situation :(
