How could they do this without your son's DL? When I have rented a car, we had to provide DL of whoever will be driving it-and rental company takes copy of DL. I would not participate in fraud with the company....to many "what ifs" involved. Stick to your plan. What?!! DS would not be driving the car. She probably read your OP wrong. Just take your son back on your own.

Do you know for a fact that J’s parents ever plan to make the trip to the school? This could be a case of J wanting to come home so she never discussed it with her parents.
Their plan all along may have been to rent a car so their daughter makes a seven hour trip vs their fourteen.
Your son’s name isn’t on the rental agreement. If she wrecks or they see the return footage, nothing will happen to your son.
Honestly, my decision would be do I want to drive seven hours in one day or do I want to have the discussion with my son as to why it’s wrong and send him on his way.

I’m not a fan of scamming anyone, so I would prefer my son not return in the inappropriately rented car. I can see that perhaps the father of the girl was trying to hold up his end of the deal, but the way he chose doesn’t make me think much of him. He could have thanked you and offered to pay the gas both ways or agreed to do the same thing in the future when he can drive instead of trying to save a few bucks by lying, and setting a bad example for his daughter.
But, your son is an adult, and ultimately, this is his decision, right? I would still offer to drive both of them, discourage my son from driving with her and explain why, and hope that he makes the right decision.
