SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND DOLLAR SYSTEMS, INC.,
DOLLAR OPERATIONS, INC. FOR COMPLAINT DJ
Background
1. This action was initiated by two complaints filed with
the United States Department of Justice (the "Department")
against automobile rental facilities operated under the name
"Dollar Rent A Car." The complaints were investigated by the
Civil Rights Division of the Department, under the authority
granted by section 308(b) of the Americans with Disabilities Act
("ADA" or the "Act"), 42 U.S.C. 12188. The complaints allege
that the operators of the said "Dollar Rent A Car" facilities
violated the ADA because they failed to make reasonable
modifications in policies, practices, or procedures necessary to
afford services to individuals with disabilities where such
modifications would not fundamentally alter the nature of the
services.
2. "Dollar" (as hereinafter defined) has cooperated fully
in the Department's investigation and has demonstrated its strong
commitment to provide its services to persons with disabilities
without discrimination. To avoid unnecessary and costly
litigation, the parties to this Agreement have agreed to resolve
this action as set forth below.
The Parties
3. The parties to this Agreement are the United States of
America, Dollar Systems, Inc. ("Dollar Systems"), and Dollar
Operations, Inc. ("Dollar Operations").
4. Dollar Systems is the licensor of automobile rental
facilities operated under the name "Dollar Rent A Car".
5. Dollar Systems and Dollar Systems' affiliated entity,
Dollar Operations, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dollar Rent A
Car Systems, Inc.
6. There are presently two hundred sixty-seven (267)
automobile rental facilities in the United States operating under
the name "Dollar Rent A Car" (the "Facilities"). Of that number,
fifty (50) facilities are operated by Dollar Operations, and the
remainder are operated by independent licensees of Dollar Systems
("Licensee" or "Licensees").
