You handle it just like any other insurance claim. However, you (or your insurer) will talk to the rental company in charge of the vehicle rather than the person driving it. Still get all of the other drivers information though. Don't worry, most legit rental companies have fleet insurance that covers their cars. The driver of the rental car may be held liable for damages to the rental if they didn't purchase insurance on the rental themselves. Keep in mind, this IS NOT insurance on the car. When a driver purchases insurance on a rental, they are simply paying a fee to avoid any damages to the rental car should they be At Fault in an accident or not.

Who to file claim with when you are rear ended?

I was rear ended a while ago by a person who was renting a vehicle. She had insurance on the rental and her own vehicle through Safe Auto. Hopefully you exchanged info. with the person that rear ended you! In my case, we exchanged info. Her insurance called me but had told me that since she had rental insurance that the rental place would cover the damages to my vehicle. That was a lie on Safe Auto's behalf. Safe Auto was liable for the damages to my vehicle and after getting on them about my claim through them, I was finally reimbursed. Point being that the claim should be filed through their (the person that rear ended you) insurance company. If you didn't get any of the other person's info. then I would suggest talking with your own insurance company.

What happens if you rear end someone whose brake lights were not working who is at fault?

the driver that rear ended the car.

As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
