By Mrs. Poirier of North Attleborough, a petition of Elizabeth A. Poirier and others that rental car companies be required to provide renters with the ability to return a vehicle anytime on a Saturday or Sunday to any rental company branch office. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts law, specifically section 32E ¾ of chapter 90 of the General Laws, to require rental car companies to offer customers the option to return a rented vehicle at any time on a Saturday or Sunday to any branch office that normally accepts vehicle returns, even if that branch is closed at the time of return. The rental company would be responsible for documenting the exact time of the return. This change aims to provide greater flexibility for renters, particularly outside of typical weekday business hours.
