Local government represents the cornerstone of the United States, and we fully support the critical role that localities play in protecting consumer and citizen rights. However, with 78 car rental excise taxes in 37 states, and 45 more such taxes pending or under discussion, we must speak out on behalf of our customers. These arbitrary taxes unfairly single out our customers and potentially interfere with interstate commerce by hindering free trade in the nationwide car rental industry.
