Brooklynites, beware! If you rent a car from Dollar or Thrifty and show a driver’s license with a Brooklyn address, even if you pick the car up outside of Brooklyn, you will be charged an extra $55.00 just because of where you live. How sour it is! Surcharges of differing amounts also apply to Bronx and Queens residents, but not to those of Manhattan or Staten Island. As seen in the Channel 7 news clip above, State Senator Daniel Squadron, along with Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, held a presser in front of the Municipal Building in Manhattan today to decry this practice and urge the companies to cease and desist.
