Budget Rent-A-Car
Class Action Suit Forming for Fuel Surcharge (Corporate Offices)

Budget Rent-A-Car has agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charges that it failed to adequately disclose a fuel fee automatically charged to customers who drove fewer than 75 miles.

According to the FTC, Budget falsely claimed that renters who returned a car with a full gas tank would not incur any fuel charges. The agency alleges that renters who drove fewer than 75 miles incurred a fuel charge whether or not they returned the car full.

The FTC charged that Budget's fuel fee program was deceptive and violated federal law. Budget did not adequately disclose its billing practice and made deceptive claims about returning cars with a full tank of gas on its Web site, point of sale disclosures, and rental contracts.

A class action suit to recover damages from Budget Rent-A-Car is forming. If you have rented from Budget from 2004 to the present time and drove less than 75 miles you are eligible to participate as a lead plaintiff in this case. We are seeking several plaintiffs at locations across the country to show the court how widespread this practice has been. There is no cost to participate. All costs are carried by the attorneys bringing the case, and they will collect their fees from the defendant (Budget) if they win the case. Please contact me to learn additional details, including court awarded compensation to the lead plaintiffs who help bring the bad guys to justice.
