Bill by Rep. Robert Garcia would hold car rental companies accountable for overbooking
June 6, 2023
DOWNEY — Congressman Robert Garcia (CA-42) today introduced the “Vehicle Rental Order Obligation Mandate (VROOM) Act,” which would require rental car companies who cannot fulfill a confirmed reservation to compensate the customer.
Rental car companies are currently under no obligation to compensate the customer when they cannot fulfill a confirmed reservation, unlike when an airline overbooks.
Garcia is joined by cosponsors Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC), David Trone (MD-6), Emanuel Cleaver, II (MO-05), Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), Henry C. "Hank" Johnson, Jr. (GA-04). Text of the bill can be found here.
