Hi,
What should I do if I found out my friend rented my car to others without my acknowledgement? I rented my car to her and she in turn rented out to a third party for her own profits. What can of offence is she committing? Can I sue her for this?

First let me start by saying, she is not your friend. Second, let this be a lesson learned. Never lend you car to friends or anyone who was not listed on your insurance. If anyone ever got into an accident in you car, your insurance will not cover any of it and you would then owe on a car that you don't even have. Choose your friends more carefully.

Unless you are a commercial business that is licensed to rent vehicles, you can't rent your car to a friend. The minute you accept money for the use of your car, you don't have insurance coverage on the vehicle. So no, you can't sue her, and if any offense is being committed, it is being committed by you. Get your car back, and stop renting it out.

If you have not registered and insured your car as a rental, you better not sue, and you better not report it to anybody, because you are not entitled to rent it (unless you have a "permission to rent clause" in your insurance policy) in the first place. You have broken a few rules, she has broken a few and also abused your trust. In any case, if the car is in an accident you may be denied coverage. Take the car back now.

Technically you let her use it to do what she wanted as an agreement, I assume not written down, and unless there was a provision that stated she could not rent it out herself, your out of luck. But you could get the person that is using the car introuble by calling the police and saying they have not permission to use it and stole it, I would think, It is still YOUR car.
Next time, don't rent it out without your agreemnt written down and all provisions included.
Unless someone is excluded from your insurance, they would be covered if driving your car, unless they stole it.

What did your rental agreement say about subletting the car? If it said nothing you have no leg to stand on.
Keep in mind that if she had an accident your insurance might not cover her. Commercial use is usually excluded unless you have a business policy.

What are the hazards? Oh, let's have a look at...you would possibly want to be in charge for something he does with that motor vehicle. He wrecks it and also you've to pay because the coverage would not conceal a non-approved motive force. purely a fool might want to flow alongside with this idea. If he won't be able to employ his own motor vehicle, do not employ one for him.

You have no cause of action if you were not damaged in any way. Did you suffer a loss? If not, then there is nothing you can do other than ditching her.
