An Act relative to affordable car rentals
This bill (SD 825) requires car rental companies to use accurate odometers and prohibits misleading renters about vehicle mileage, directly affecting rental businesses and customers. It mandates that rental companies provide secondary insurance coverage if renters lack their own liability insurance, but only for short-term rentals (under 30 days). The bill also clarifies that rental companies do not need to verify driver's licenses through the Registry of Motor Vehicles. These provisions aim to prevent fraud and ensure basic insurance coverage for renters using distance-based or short-term rental systems.
