He was side swiped by another driver. Minor damage to his vehicle. Other driver admitted fault. No police report. Car drive-able and he is on his way here. Return date is Saturday a week. Declined all additional insurance coverage. Have other driver's name, policy no., etc.

From ten minutes worth of reading it would appear we should fill out the accident report form for when he returns the car. Will Hertz go after the other driver's insurance? How much of the repair cost are we likely to pay? Ugh.
I would expect Hertz will charge the renter for the costs and then he can then pursue the 3rd party to try and recover them. I would doubt that Hertz will go after the other driver
