In a story syndicated for ABC News local affiliates, Bob Barton, American Car Rental Assopciation president and Franchise Services of North America Inc. president and COO, takes a stand on excise taxes.
The news story focuses on online consumers’ “sticker shock” when the final car rental bill is displayed, and every fee and tax is tallied. Barton points out that the car rental industry is facing its own sticker shock, as it is burdened with more than 100 local, county and state excise taxes across the U.S.
