MS SB2153

Requires persons or entities engaged in motor vehicle rentals to provide a good-faith estimate of total charges, including all additional mandatory charges, whenever a quote is provided to a potential customer.

Mandates that rental contracts disclose the total charges for the entire rental, including all additional mandatory charges, at the time the rental commences.

Defines "additional mandatory charges" as separately stated charges renters are required to pay relating to vehicle operation, including customer facility charges, airport concession recovery fees, vehicle license recovery fees, and government-imposed taxes or fees.

Allows good-faith estimates to exclude mileage charges and optional item charges that cannot be determined before completing a rental reservation based on customer-provided information.

Makes violation of the motor vehicle rental disclosure requirements an unfair or deceptive trade practice under Mississippi's consumer protection law, effective July 1, 2023.
