However, last week, the Salt Lake City Council passed a law that will levy fines against people who conduct rental transactions at the airport via P2P companies, as those companies are currently not paying fees to operate at the airport.
The settlement states that Uber and its entities violated local taxi laws, which mandates transportation companies have a taxi license in order to operate.
The zones will first be designated in the Fenway neighborhood, near the dining and night life hubs.
Under the new regulations, ride-hailing groups must allow 15 minutes to pass in between the customer requesting a ride and the driver arriving.
The tax will add 0.5% on the current 9% sales tax on car rentals.
While the bill did not get the endorsement of the state's transportation board, Uber backed the legislation, as the company says its services are complementary to public transportation.
The thieves gave the couple fake registration, a fake Carfax report, and used a fake driver's license.
Similarly, Salt Lake City is expected to pass an ordinance today that will levy fines between $500 and $1,000 on peer-to-peer carsharing companies that operate at Salt Lake City International Airport without authorization.
Metro's board of directors is hoping that adding on a tax will discourage "single passenger" rides, and promote carpooling and public transit.
The supreme court decided that the tax was not enacted with discriminatory intent, and thus constitutional.
The decision by the Supreme Court cannot be reversed.
However, if passed, experts say the law could be frozen by the European Commission for a violation of European Union law.
The car rental association claims that the new mandate unfairly favors taxi drivers.
SB 1305 would set standards for carsharing issues such as insurance and safety.
The lawsuit also compelled Hertz and its business partner, American Traffic Solutions, Inc., to halt their nationwide practice of charging toll service fees for every day of a car rental, even days the service wasn’t used.
The event consisted of networking, ACRA meetings, guest speakers, an ACRA political action committee reception, and meetings with U.S. representatives and senators on issues affecting the car rental industry.
