Motor Vehicles – Rental Fleet Vehicles – Registration

HB 1464 creates a new registration process for rental car companies owning five or more vehicles in Maryland. It requires the Motor Vehicle Administration to issue special "FLEET VEHICLE" plates for these vehicles and eliminates the need for validation tabs. Owners pay an annual registration fee (as set under existing law) plus a one-time $8.50 fee when first registering under this process. The bill affects commercial rental fleets, not individual car owners, and aims to streamline registration for larger operations.
