Section 50474.1 Of Article 6. Airports From California Government Code >> Division 1. >> Title 5. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 6.
50474.1
. (a) An airport operated by a city and county may require a
rental car company, in writing, to collect a fee from its customers
on behalf of the airport for the use of an airport-mandated common
use busing system or light rail transit system operated for the
movement of passengers between the terminal and a consolidated
on-airport rental car facility. If a rental car company is required
pursuant to this section to collect a fee, the following conditions
shall apply:
(1) The fees shall be calculated on a per contract basis.
(2) All fees collected for this purpose constitute debts owed to
the airport by the collecting party. The debts are due and payable to
the airport quarterly or at any other interval the airport may
establish to facilitate collection and insure payment.
(3) The fee is a user fee, not a tax.
(4) Revenues collected from the fee may not exceed the reasonable
costs of providing the busing and light rail transit service and may
not be used for any other purpose.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including, but not
limited to, Section 1936 of the Civil Code, a rental car company
that is required to collect fees under this section shall do all of
the following:
(1) Collect the fee from those of its customers subject to the fee
as required in subdivision (a).
(2) Clearly disclose the existence of the fee in any radio,
television, or print advertisement that states a rental rate
applicable to an airport at which the fee is to be imposed, and the
amount of the fee at the airport where it is imposed, or a range of
fees if the fee is imposed at more than one airport.
(3) Clearly disclose the existence of the fee in a telephonic,
in-person, or computer-transmitted quotation that states a rental
rate applicable to an airport at which the fee is to be imposed and
the amount of the fee at the airport where it is imposed.
(4) Separately identify the fee on its rental agreement.
