I was driving carefully, with distance. I used the breaks and was not enough to avoid bumping into the car in front of me. The collision was minor and there was not apparent damages made.
It's my first ticket and I've been driving for 10 years now.

If you want to mitigate the impact of the charges (whch you should) then you should hire a lawyer to represent you on this. Also, in many jurisdictions, one of the reasons you hire a lawyer is for the lawyer to appear in court on your behalf so that you do not have to take off from work to appear... View More

Early on in the claim the insured insurance carrier stated that they would reimburse reasonable rental if their insured was at fault. The out of pocket expenses were $4300 and they are offering to pay $1800. Do I have any recourse?

Definitely. But they could be considered partially at fault if the over limit contributed to the crash or to the injuries, for example, not wearing seatbelt.

my card on file was on auto pay, i received a new card and didnt notice the insurance hadnt been paid. i never received any form of notice informing me the payment was declined. resulting in the cancellation of my insurance.

If your insurance was canceled due to nonpayment of the premium, you’re going to have to pay for the repairs or buy a new car out of pocket. I wouldn’t expect insurance to cover it.
