Minnesota moves to regulate peer-to-peer car sharing, impacting insurance industry
The bill, H.F. No. 2752, defines key operational terms for P2P car-sharing services, clarifying the legal distinctions between car-sharing and traditional rental services. Unlike traditional car rentals, peer-to-peer car-sharing allows private vehicle owners to rent their cars to others via online platforms. By excluding P2P car-sharing agreements from the legal definition of vehicle rentals, the bill prevents these platforms from being classified as auto rental companies under existing statutes, impacting tax obligations and insurance regulations.
