Update:
She has spoken to the contracts people at work and they have in turn advised the rental company of the facts.
A member of the HJ forum who clearly knows his stuff around S172 etc has helpfully pointed out that the responsibility of the keeper under S172 are different to those of "any other person". Obligation on latter are fulfilled if she provides any information which it is in her power to give and may lead to identification of the driver
My daughter will return the S172 stating that she was not the driver and she cannot name the person involved. She will however say believes him/her to be an employee of Bighire PLC at their Chester depot. She will go on to recite the timings of hire/delivery and recollection of hearing the car arrive and keys put through letterbox.
A copy of the documentation she was sent confirming the hire will be appended
