[Blindtlk] FW: [nabs-l] Enterprise Car Rental

[Marion Gwizdala]

David,
    If you go to the DOJ website at

http://www.ada.gov

And search on Dollar Car Rental, you will find a decision by the Department. 
Basically, it states that depriving a blind person the right to rent a 
vehicle is in violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. 
Companies that rent vehicles must modify their policies, practices, and 
procedures to allow individuals who cannot drive due to their disability the 
right to rent a vehicle and waive the additional driver fee. If you have any 
problems finding that decision, please write to me off-list at

President at NAGDU.ORG

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala, President
National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU)
