About the Class Action Lawsuit

The lawsuit was filed in the federal court for the Northern District of California against The Hertz Corporation and related companies (called “Defendants”). It is a class action on behalf of the following people:

All potential Hertz Customers with disabilities who need Hand Controls to operate a rental vehicle.

The lawsuit claims that Defendants violated federal and California state anti-discrimination laws by (1) only placing hand controls in a limited set of vehicles, (2) effectively adding a surcharge for individuals who require hand controls, and (3) imposing a more difficult reservation process on individuals who require hand controls. The lawsuit does not seek money for the class.
