I was recently in a minor accident while driving a rental car. The other driver clearly caused the accident, but I’m unsure how fault is determined when renting a vehicle. My rental company says I might still be responsible for damages, and I’m worried about potential charges. Can anyone explain how fault is established in this situation and what I should do next?
Usually, if the other driver’s clearly at fault, you shouldn’t be on the hook. But rental companies can be tricky. They might still say you’re responsible until they sort it out. Check if you had insurance through the rental or your credit card—might cover it. 
Also, gather any reports or photos from the accident; they can help. Hope it all gets sorted easily for you…
