[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 958"] As you can see by the others that have responded--it could be different for you in your state or your situation. Therefore, I would strongly recommend contacting your insurance company first and tell them of the situation and exactly what kind of agreement you have with the person you are renting from as well as everything else that pertains to the accident.
