Alabama Insurance

In the three years since Hertz started the practice of screening tenants “Driving records, the situation has radically changed. Alamo, last year began examining records of drivers from seven states and the District of Columbia, abandoned that policy on May 23. Hertz and other major car rental, moves in the opposite direction, the pilot testing of a growing number of countries, while setting criteria for their release. Hertz began with the New York State For example, is now screening drivers from 10 states and the District of Columbia, Connecticut, is the latest addition.

In refine certain restrictions have been eased, particularly those accidents. But the rules are bigger violations: Notice of dollars and the two pilots want the screen, in the six previous years have been in the past because of driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled drugs. Avis is also a driver, whose record shows a conviction at any moment to leave the scene of an accident or possession of a stolen vehicle.

The companies say screening has sharply reduced the cost of liability insurance. A spokesman for Dollar Rent a Car said that the rejection of 5 per cent of drivers, the company has cut its responsibility from 10 to 20 per cent.

The nightmare of consumers developed a screening, where a traveler booking may be refused in the rental car counter, can now be avoided, at a price. For a fee of $ 10 or less, the pilots of most states concerned can learn when their records disqualify for rental of six large companies. The monitoring of convictions

Deborah Jaeger, Vice President for the development of TML in Queens, large companies, automobile registration process for car rentals, said that patterns of convictions were for detecting reliable forecasting undesirable tenants. The screening program was born in New York and Florida, where “the responsibility for others” laws “, a company car rental can be held responsible if a client injures or kills.

Given that the rents companies the responsibility to reduce costs, and because the part of drivers they refuse, are also declining, the screening criteria are underway on convictions. Hertz, for example, a former driver had refused two or more accidents during the 36 months or had one or more accidents in the same period, with one case of death or injury. Hertz has dropped these restrictions in May with two driving, or someone else driving licence without insurance or a valid license.

Refusal on the basis of the hackles of drivers, as safe. For example, people have been injured, inside parked cars, cars have another, it has shown “injury” even if it has not identified fault and were in fact victims. Ms. Jaeger said that such drivers, if refused, he had to make an appeal to file Hertz, with an additional stage, said she was not necessary.

Sandy Richards, a spokesman for Alamo, said that his company has left the program after the decision, it was not profitable. She said, Alamo has come late, after starting at 11 April 1994, and the company was troubled, and the criteria varied. In addition, she noted, driving records of all States are not open currently controls 15 states and the District of Columbia Records makes it totally or partially available.
