It goes both ways... the rental car agency interviews the person to make sure she is trustworthy of driving the car. The author is asking you to think about the relationship a little more abstractly than simply who is giving money to whom.
Having said, that, I think this is a poor analogy because I don't find it particularly illuminating and the situations just don't seem very... analogous.
