Car Rental Companies are making their customers (You) liable for 'acts of nature.' Per Rental companies "The customer, not the company, is in a position to do something about it, whether it is returning the car to us or getting the car out of harm's way,".

In that case, you might have purchased a loss damage waiver that automatically shifts responsibility back to the car rental company.
Companies also state,
"Almost all of our customers have auto insurance, which covers the damage to car rental vehicles under these circumstances. So it is not like all of a sudden the customer is going to get hit with a bill that they weren't hit with before.
