Eh, that's all repairable. You don't have a policy with Geico, right? They are just trying to bully you. You don't have to have your insurance company fix it if you want to wait. You should really take it to a body shop you trust and have them write the estimate, let the adjuster write theirs, and then let the shop go after the insurance company for the difference. They can write it for less so it doesn't total then go for a supplement when they find more damage than was originally written/approved for. Really makes it simple for you.

It looks like a bumper, both quarters or possibly repair the passenger, trim, door, tail light, refinish wheel, and whatever suspension parts are bent. It will probably go on a frame machine first to ensure everything is straight. I know a couple local shops around here I would trust with the repair work if you don't have or know any close to you. Hold your ground and get a written estimate from a body shop and explain your situation, most should be willing to help with you.
