Who is responsible for hit and run damage to a rental car with unauthorize by company?

If the rental car was damaged in a hit and run incident while it was being driven by someone other than an authorized driver, the person who was driving the car at the time of the incident is responsible for the damage.

In most cases, the unauthorized driver will be liable for the damage to the rental car, as well as any other associated costs, such as towing and storage fees. The rental company may also have the right to pursue legal action against the unauthorized driver to recover the costs of the damage.

It is important to note that the terms and conditions of the rental agreement may vary from company to company, so it is important to carefully read and understand the agreement before signing it. The rental agreement will typically outline the responsibilities of the renter and any additional drivers, as well as the consequences for unauthorized use of the rental car.
