Under Maryland law, the rental car company has to have its own insurance on the rental vehicle. If the accident was your daughter's fault, she will likely have to reimburse the rental car company for the damages caused to the rental vehicle and the loss of use of the rental vehicle to the rental car company. If you daughter was covered under anyone the auto insurance policy of anyone else on the date of the accident, make sure the collision is reported to that insurance company. As to whether the rental car company was in error for renting the car to your daughter, you should consult with an attorney familiar with dealing with rental car companies. Good luck with this matter.
