Bill Summary
For legislation relative to toll charges within rental car agreements. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect rental car customers by regulating the fees that rental companies can charge for electronic tolls incurred by the driver. It requires that any fee charged for electronic tolls must represent the actual cost of the tolls and the rental company's good faith estimate of the actual costs necessary to recover those tolls. The bill also prohibits rental companies from charging a rental fee for an electronic tolling transponder. Violations of this law would constitute a violation of Chapter 93A, which is the Massachusetts consumer protection law.
