          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rental Car Consumer Protection Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill establishes protections for consumers reserving rental cars.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, if a rental car company allows consumers to reserve a vehicle in advance, it must make the vehicle available to the consumer at the reserved location within one-half hour of the reserved time. Rental car companies also must adopt certain reservation procedures and notify consumers of their rights under the bill.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill authorizes the Federal Trade Commission to enforce these requirements.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
