Avis Acrimony

UPDATE & OVERVIEW: This online article nicely sums what LCT has been reporting over the last few months about the destructive inroads of the rental car industry into chauffeured transportation. NLA President Richard Kane and Limousine Association of Houston President Joe Jordan are quoted in this comprehensive report. Along with union-driven card-check propossed legislation, the deepening recession, and the drive toward greener livery vehicles, the Avis issue has the potential to radically remake the dynamics of chauffeured transportation. The rental car/chauffeur arrangements must be fought at every level so that ALL chauffeured vehicles fit the same definition and comply with the same rules.  

Look for more coverage in the March and April issues of LCT Magazine. -- M.R.
