Text:
Existing law prohibits a rental company from charging a fee for authorized drivers in addition to the rental charge for an individual renter.
This bill would authorize a rental company to charge a fee for an authorized driver, in addition to the rental charge for an individual renter, unless the authorized driver is the renter’s spouse, child or person for whom the renter is a legal guardian, sibling, parent, grandparent, employer, or coworker, as specified.
