Tort actions in South Carolina are brought directly against the "at Fault" party, not the insuring entity. If the operator of the Hertz vehicle was a South Carolina resident, South Carolina would likely be the jurisdiction for the action. I assume that if you are dealing with property damage, the amount in controversy does not exceed $75,000 required for a diversity action in federal court.
