Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Car Rentals Integrity Act, requires motor vehicle rental companies to show customers the full cost of a rental, including all mandatory fees and extra charges, at the time of booking. It defines mandatory fees as costs required to rent the car and extra costs as charges for optional services like child seats or additional drivers, ensuring the advertised price reflects the total amount due. Rental companies must provide a detailed list of these fees, which can include airport surcharges and young driver fees, preventing misleading low-price advertisements that omit essential costs. The law applies to all rental vehicle operators and will take effect thirty days after it is signed into law.
