DUI Defender

Many people charged with DUI find themselves needing to rent cars either while the case is being fought or after losing their case. Whether the rental is for business or pleasure it is not uncommon for the major car rental companies to run a background check on your driver’s license prior to releasing the keys to you.

Alamo, Budget, Avis, Dollar and Hertz run licenses at least part of the time so renting with these companies can result in denial of a rental car. I have read that Enterprise only inspects driver’s licenses to determine if they are valid and does not run them through the state driver’s license records prior to renting a vehicle.

Some rental companies may deny you a car for DUI conviction, accidents, moving violations or if they determine that your home state has suspended your privilege.

California and Pennsylvania are two states that so not permit rental car companies to run “background” checks on driver’s prior to renting vehicles.
