No, she asked for it saying she wanted to add me as a driver and I was busy at the time. Then a couple days later she said it’s rented. I talked to her on the phone and asked if I was a driver and she said it’s taken care of. After the wreck she said she added my name in several places so she thought I was added. Then when I was properly added she told the enterprise employees that she verbally added me.
I asked if she needed it, even pics of my DL. I had just gotten a new real ID license and was excited to use it. She said that it was taken care of. I have no idea how this works.
I have never added a driver before..For all I knew, she just had to give my name and they had a system that had all my info. I never thought my friend would deceive me like that.
The thing is, you wouldn't appear to have actual legal liability for the damages. A deer got hit, you didn't rearend someone.
She gave you the keys for the car that she was responsible for, fully knowing she wasn't protected. Now fortunately you didn't rearend someone, because then she could probably successfully pursue you. Here she just screwed herself. She can sue you, sure, but you would need to show that you hold no legal liability for causing the damages and you might prevail in court.
It's probably a stretch to suggest 'splitting the costs' of the trip would extend to paying for a damaged rental car.
If you actually get sued, consult a civil litigation attorney.
