Re: Insurance for a Rental Car
It's unlawful to operate the car if you're not the authorized driver. The principal legal consequence is that you might not have insurance for a collision; or, if the insurance does cover the accident, the insurer can pursue both the driver (for negligent driving) and the renter (for breach of the rental agreement).
