Rental Car GPS Spying!

Posted by geeknews at 1:43 PM on April 6, 2005

My buddy and I were driving at a rate of speed in a rental car that was well above the posted limit a year or two ago. Out of the blue his cell phone rang and as he talked I noticed he started slowing down. You guessed it, the rental car agency was calling him saying he was violating his rental car agreement.

If memory serves me correctly he was charged like $300.00 extra when we turned the car in. Finally a court has stood up and say you cannot do this. If your not aware that rental car companies are doing this you have been so advised. [Techdirt]
