Requiring a member of a certain car-sharing service who uses a motor vehicle for less than a specified period of time pursuant to an agreement with the car-sharing service to pay a specified surcharge per usage; authorizing an electronic copy of certain rental or lease documentation to be in the possession of the vehicle operator or carried in the vehicle and to be exhibited upon demand of any authorized law enforcement officer or any agent of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles; prohibiting a person from renting a motor vehicle to another person unless he or she has verified that the renter's driver license is unexpired, etc.

AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to Florida's laws regarding vehicle rentals and car-sharing services. It imposes a $1 or $2 surcharge per usage for members of car-sharing services, depending on the length of rental. It also requires rental companies and car-sharing services to verify the renter's driver's license is unexpired, and allows for electronic copies of rental documentation to be accepted. The bill also requires rental companies, car-sharing services, and peer-to-peer car-sharing programs to enter agreements with airports to provide services on airport property. The changes are intended to regulate the growing car-sharing industry and ensure proper documentation and fees are collected.
