Car rental companies challenged the tax, arguing that it violated a part of the Arizona state constitution that requires tax revenue from rental vehicles to go toward public highways.
The court ruled that a rental agreement violation did not warrant a breach of a constitutional right to privacy.
During the hearing of Byrd v. United States, justices seemed to favor upholding the Fourth Amendment rights of drivers operating rental vehicles without being listed on the rental agreement.
The case involves the privacy rights of rental car drivers who have permission to operate a vehicle but whose names are not on the rental agreement.
With this decision, the final award of $19.2 million stands.
