By the way Chris, did your daughters insurance company have
any provisions to protect her in this event? You know, other
drivers in her vehicle. If you let a friend or relative
drive your car, they and you are covered in the event of an
accident. Shouldn't this be applicable to a rental car? Talk
to your insurance agent first, then your daughters. It has
long been my experience that insurance agents will not volunteer
this kind of information unless you ask.

Her insurance company said if she were driving, everything would have been covered, since she was not, nothing is covered. BF's insurance company has plead a similar case saying he was not authorized to drive the car, therefor no coverage. To that extent that the rental co paid for all damages above what my daughter shelled out for the rental car. Now the rental co (AVIS is self insured) has engaged a collection company that probaly works on commision with harassing tactics to try to regain anything from any pockets.
