Company Uses GPS to Detect Out-of-State Driving, Adds on Big Fee

I saw the article somewhere, but can't find it now. Someone rented a car from Budget and drove into another state. The Budget franchisee determined this from a GPS aboard the car. This out-of-state operation escalated the fee to one dollar a mile for the entire rental period.

Does anyone have additional information on this?
