I've had to repair many cars, drive-line bolts are usually special made
to fit only one thing and they are hardened usually to grade 8. You
can't get replacements anywhere, usually. Since the tow company is
being cavalier about it, they need a wake-up asshole lawsuit.

Bill the renter and send an invoice to the towing company. If the
towing company pays, refund the renter...or not, depending on how you
view it ethically. I would say your time and energy spent in
reacquiring the vehicle and repairs more than makes up for the
potential of getting double your money back.

I'd think you could bill whichever one you wanted to in that
situation. Just because you can hold the renter liable doesn't
necessarily mean you want to. The towing company should be the
ones that ultimately pay for it either way.

I don't do a lot of rentals, but if your Enterprise rent-a-car
gets towed, enterprise will just bill you for everything,
they're not going to bother going after whoever actually did
it? The damage happened while it was in the possession of the
renter, seems the renter would be the only liability to you.
It's their fault that it got towed and needs repair, whether
or not the towing company caused the damage.

I get your point, but the renter did not cause the “damage”
the tow company did.
When in the custody of the tow company, they are on the hook
for all damage.

Also, why would you be billing the towing company, and not
the renter? Cost incurred during rental should be the
renters responsibility. If they want to re-bill the towing
company that shouldn't involve you. Same as if they drove it
into a pylon and you had to replace the bumper.

I will just bill them for the repair. And if they don’t pay
in a month to two file a small claims action. Very easy.

I rent out equipment.
A contractor that rents a truck from me let his employee
take it home.
He parked it at an apartment house either in someone
elses spot or did not register it with the apartment
company.
It got towed.
I had to send paperwork to the towing company releasing
it to the contractor.
This morning, we learned they took off the driveline and
will not put it back on.
I don’t think that is legal. They disabled it. They got
paid for the tow. They should restore it.
Unless someone can show me where they have the legal
ability to do that, I will probably bill them for the
repair and then sue when they don’t pay.
Opinions?
