Best Answer

You rented the car so you have all the responsibility and liability. If a person cannot rent a car themselves because the rental company won't rent to them, another person should not volunteer.

There is nothing wrong with going to the rental agency and telling them you are renting for the other person, but that doesn't give the other person the right to drive the car.

You may also be the driver of a car rented to someone else, but again you should make the rental company aware of that. They want to know that whoever drives the car is a licensed driver with an acceptable driving record.

If the other person gets into an accident and is charged with an offence, that goes against them, not you.
