A 3557 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Decreases rental motor vehicle surcharge from $5 per day to $2 per day.

This bill reduces the daily fee charged to rental car companies in New Jersey from $5 to $2 per rental vehicle. It directly affects rental companies and their customers who rent vehicles for short-term use (up to 28 days). The $2 daily fee remains dedicated to the New Jersey Domestic Security Account, which funds bioterrorism preparedness, nuclear facility security, State Police security services, and counter-terrorism programs. For example, a customer renting a car for five days would save $15 compared to the previous $5-per-day rate.
