I've filed a report with my insurance company and also filed a report with the police dept. I took the driver's info. but wasn't able to retrieve his insurance info. Should I call the rental company to retrieve that info & file a claim with both the driver's auto insurance company & auto rental company?

You should contact the rental car company as their car was involved and file a claim with them, it may not be production but at least it is proactive. Your first hurdel will be finding out if he was insured and by who. If not and you have uninsured motorist coverage you should be covered.
Good Luck.
