Hi everyone,
Humberto from this list forwarded David's question about
Enterprise Rental to the Blind Talk list. I'm on both lists, so
I'm forwarding David his responses from that list. Here's some
information about a DOJ decision regarding Dollar Rental Car.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that
exists. If a blind person has the proper training and
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

Dear All,
As per my previous message, here is a brief I found about the
Dollar Inc. settlement. I'm off to work, so when I return, I
will look for more information.
Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
Dollar, Inc., Washington, D.C. -- Dollar, Inc., one of the
largest car rental establishments in the country, agreed to
modify its rental policies to permit people with disabilities to
rent cars when accompanied by licensed drivers. Prior to the
agreement, Dollar required the licensed driver to be the
financially responsible party. This policy made it impossible
for people with disabilities who cannot drive (for example,
people with visual impairments) to rent cars, even when they had
a licensed driver accompanying them. Under the agreement, an
individual with a disability who is the financially responsible
party may rent a car using his or her own credit card, while a
driver accompanying the individual presents his or her own
driver's license. All Dollar licensees renewing existing
contracts or entering into new contracts subsequent to the
agreement will be required to adopt the new policy.
