482.31565 Waiver of damages and optional insurance: Purchase as condition for lease prohibited; maximum charge; adjustment to reflect Consumer Price Index; advertisements; other prohibited practices.
1. A short-term lessor shall not require the purchase of a waiver of damages, optional insurance or any other optional good or service as a condition for the lease of a passenger car.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a short-term lessor may sell a waiver of damages but shall not charge more than $22 per full or partial rental day or 24-hour rental period, as appropriate, for the waiver. The monetary amount set forth in this subsection must be adjusted for each fiscal year that begins on or after July 1, 2008, by adding to that amount the product of that amount multiplied by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index West Urban for All Urban Consumers (All Items) between the calendar year ending on December 31, 2005, and the calendar year immediately preceding the fiscal year for which the adjustment is made. The Department shall, on or before March 1 of each year, publish the adjusted amount for the next fiscal year on its website or otherwise make that information available to short-term lessors.
3. A short-term lessor who disseminates an advertisement in the State of Nevada that contains a rate for the lease of a passenger car shall include in the advertisement a clearly readable statement of the charge for a waiver of damages and a statement that the waiver is optional.
4. A short-term lessor shall not engage in any unfair, deceptive or coercive conduct to induce a short-term lessee to purchase a waiver of damages, optional insurance or any other optional good or service, including, but not limited to, refusing to honor the lessee’s reservation, limiting the availability of cars, requiring a deposit or debiting or blocking the lessee’s credit card account for a sum equivalent to a deposit if the lessee declines to purchase a waiver, optional insurance or any other optional good or service.
