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

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 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?
