Yes, you can report the car stolen. This is technically called a "Conversion", which means the car was converted to a stolen status because it was kept longer than the contract allowed. I would wait at least a week, and try several methods of contacting the renter before notifying the police. It is unlikely that your car will be returned quickly by reporting it stolen. The real power is in the threat of reporting it. This is usually enough to scare the renter into promptly returning the vehicle. Tell them that it will be considered a felony if you report the car stolen and they are caught. Of course, this assumes you can get ahold of them to deliver the threat. Answer provided by:

In general, only authorized drivers as specified on the rental contract are allowed to drive rental cars. This includes the person whose name is on the contract, and any additional persons specified on the form. A spouse is often included automatically (best to ask). If you drive a rental car that you are not authorized by contract to drive, and something happens to the car, the person whose name is on the contract will be held responsible.

Yes. However, some rental compaines require a signture of the person(s) who is/are listed in the contract as an authroized driver(s). You should contact the rental company for further information.
It depends what the contract for the rental car is. Usually there is one or two specific people that are only allowed to drive, and they usually have to be at least 21. Sometimes you are allowed to rent a car at 18, but because of insurance purposes, the cost is higher. If you want to find out if you are allowed to drive a rental with a permit, check the contract or just call the rental company to check.
As long as this person is listed in the rental contract as driver, yes. However, if you allow someone else drive the car without been listed as driver nad this person gets in an accident, the rental insurance will deny the claim and you will be responsible for all damages.
Yes, it is a legal contract.
Absolutely Not. Only the people listed on the rental agreement are allowed to drive the rental car. This is a very big deal and is strictly stated in the rental contract that you sign so read it carefully. People who rent a car and let others drive it can be personally liable for damages done not only to the rental car but also for damaged to other people and property that are damaged, hurt, or killed in an accident. You need to be very careful about this. When you are signing the contract you are guaranteeing that no person under 25 will be driving the vehicle and that no person not expressly listed on the rental contract is driving and that you take full responsibility if you let others drive.
Yes, they usually do have to be returned to the car rental location, unless you are doing oine-way car rental.
No, rental cars should be returned clean to avoid additional cleaning fees.
At my company we call this a "rewrite", which is basically rewriting a contract to extend the time frame of the rental. If you want to keep your car longer, just call the branch where you rented it and tell them you want to do that. They will probably ask you to stop by in person to sign the new contract and then you can be on your way.
No, you do not need to wash a rental car before returning it. It is the responsibility of the rental company to clean the car after it is returned.
