Repair of other vehicle: $1,000 for new bumper, paint and labor
Loss of use: $100 x 10 days = $1,000
Towing: $200
So in total, I would guess about $8,000 for the accident.
If that is the case, Does Hertz allow me to pay in installments? Because I have no option how to pay that much amount all of a sudden.
Thanks & Regards.

It wouldn't really matter what the person handling the return does; it will be sent over to their claims team (internal or external) and they will validate the entire rental, including any insurance options/liability options. IBM, almost guaranteed, will not pay for any damages as self-insured either.
The only questionable part is the LIS, which the insured paid for, which would cover the other person's car and any medical issues to the other party. The OP did not purchase LDW, they purchased LIS which is for liability only and offers no protection to the rented car.
I paid for the LDW though it was added by default to the plan. I also purchased LIS upon that. There were no physical damages for anyone in the other car or in the car which I was driving. The only damage occurred to the other car is a good amount of dent near the trunk because of the rear end collision.
You can have a look at the attached copy of the Hertz receipt for LDW and LIS.
Thanks & Regards,
