Bill > S09540

This bill, known as the "car rentals integrity act," requires motor vehicle rental companies to provide consumers with the complete cost of a rental vehicle at the time of rental, which is defined as the "total price." This total price must include all "mandatory fees," which are any charges a consumer must pay before getting the vehicle, and "extra costs," which are fees for optional services requested by the renter, such as child safety seats or additional driver fees. The bill amends existing law to ensure that rental companies cannot advertise or quote a rental rate that doesn't include all these charges, except for taxes, and mandates that they provide a list of all mandatory fees and extra costs, including common surcharges like airport fees and concession recovery fees.
