If you are going to need or want other people to drive your auto rental, it is necessary that you inform the rental company. You should ask them what sort of information or identification is required from the additional drivers. Your additional drivers will likely have to provide the sort of information you initially used to rent the car. If you do not have any other names stated on the rental contract, it is prudent not to let anyone else drive the rental car. Doing so could void the contract that you signed, as well as any protection or insurance you purchased.

Allowing some unlisted person to drive your rental car may even void personal insurance or any insurance provided by your credit card. This could result in serious consequences if the car has been in an accident. In an extreme case, however, the unlisted person driving the rental car could be charged with theft, if caught by the police.
