Car rental companies may not assess and collect nongovernmentally mandated ‘vehicle licensing fee’ as separate charge on consumer car rental transactions. Disclosure of unadvertised, nonmandatory charges for car rental transactions at point of sale does not constitute adequate disclosure pursuant to Virginia Consumer Protection Act of 1977. |
