CAR RENTALS: Avis wins dismissal of suit over price of gas
02/22/2007
Avis Budget Group Inc., the second-largest U.S. car rental company, won dismissal of a lawsuit by a customer claiming its $5.99-a-gallon refueling charge is illegal.
The customer, Andrew Ramon, said Avis' Budget Rent a Car System Inc. imposed an "unreasonably large" service charge to refuel cars returned with less-than-full tanks. Ramon didn't elect to prepay for a full tank of gas at a market rate of $2.14 a gallon. U.S. District Judge William Martini in Newark, N.J., ruled Tuesday that the rental contract was clear.
