No kidding. I have no reason to doubt that the OP is honest and responsible, but it's amazing to me that someone would turn their car over to a visiting foreign national they don't know personally. It's risky enough doing that with a friend who lives across town. The car owner is liable for any damage that car does, and cars can do quite a bit of damage.
