If you have insurance coverage on your personal vehicle, you should be covered with the rental. However, if you do not own a vehicle, or do not have insurance on your personal vehicle, or did not purchase insurance on the rental, you're personally liable and will have to pay for the damage.
No one can answer without more detail. Do you have your own insurance on your personal car? How much and what type, full coverage or liability only? Were you found at fault for the accident?
Were you a listed driver on the car?... if not there is no insurance and the person who rented the car is in some real trouble. You can check and see if your insurance (and that is if you have any) will pay but don't plan on them paying.
