Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Stronger limits on rental add-ons

Rental companies cannot force you to buy damage waivers, optional insurance, or other add‑ons to get the car. If you choose a damage waiver, the charge is capped at $22 per rental day (or 24 hours), or $150 per day for cars with an MSRP over $60,000. These caps adjust each year for inflation, and the state posts the new amounts by March 1. Ads in Nevada that show a rental rate must clearly show the damage waiver charge and say the waiver is optional. Companies also cannot use pressure tactics, like denying a reservation, limiting cars, or blocking your card, because you declined an add‑on.

Proof of insurance required to rent

Short‑term rental companies must see proof that you carry the minimum car insurance required by Nevada law. If you cannot show proof, they may sell you a temporary policy or refer you to one, but the price cannot be above the normal market rate. If you refuse to buy a temporary policy, the company may refuse to rent the car. A company’s sale of a temporary policy under these rules is not treated as an unfair or coercive practice.
