§ 4503.105.
(A) A motor vehicle renting dealer may charge each vehicle renter a separate vehicle
license fee to recover the dealer's cost related to the annual vehicle registration,
license plates, and title fees imposed upon vehicles in the dealer's fleet under Title
XLV of the Revised Code. Any dealer who separately charges a vehicle license fee shall do all of the following: (1) Make a good faith estimate of the average per rental day per vehicle portion of the
dealer's total annual registration, license plates, and title fees paid in this state
for its rental fleet during the calendar year; (2) Separately itemize and charge the vehicle license fee in the rental agreement between
the dealer and a renter, and specifically describe the vehicle license fee in the
rental agreement as the estimated average per rental day per vehicle portion of the
dealer's total annual registration, license plates, and title fees; (3) In any advertisement made in this state that describes vehicle rental rates for vehicles
available for rent in this state, include a statement that the renter is required
to pay the vehicle license fee and disclose the maximum daily charge for the vehicle
license fee. (B) Any dealer who separately charges a vehicle license fee shall not charge, collect,
or retain any amount in excess of the actual average per rental day per vehicle portion
of the dealer's total annual registration, license plates, and title fees paid in
this state for its rental fleet during the calendar year. If a dealer recovers the dealer's actual costs related to the annual vehicle registration,
license plates, and title fees, the dealer shall cease to itemize and charge such
costs in any rental agreement during that calendar year. (C) As used in this section, “motor vehicle renting dealer” has the same meaning as in section 4549.65 of the Revised Code .
