In the case of Enterprise, yes. If your auto insurance covers the cost of a car rental while your own is being repaired, that coverage typically only covers the base cost of the rental itself, and not any additional fees such as accident insurance on the rental car, additional authorized drivers, etc.
Be aware that the amount that insurance policies provide for rental cars is typically much lower than the rental car would normally go for. Many agencies, Enterprise included, have special rates for insurance claim customers (which is why you are required to present a claim number from your insurance company for rental purposes), and the rental agencies are accustomed to dealing with insurance companies. Insurance rentals make up a substantial portion of rental business.
