Reasons for Proposal
Recently, as non-face-to-face car rental services such as Socar have been booming, unlicensed people, including minors, are now allowed to rent motor vehicles insofar as they have the ID and password of another person, causing various accidents to occur.
The current Act requires car rental business entities to verify the qualifications of motor vehicle lessees for driving, thereby preventing car rentals by unlicensed persons to a certain extent. However, it does not prohibit the act of borrowing or lending another person's account to another party, giving rise to the issue of enabling car rentals by minors, etc. using non-face-to-face car rental services to continue to occur.
Accordingly, the Amendment aims to prohibit any act of lending or borrowing the name of another person to rent motor vehicles from car rental service entities, and to impose a fine not exceeding 10 million won for any violation thereof, to block unlicensed persons from renting motor vehicles and forestall any resultant accidents (Article 34-4, Article 92 subparagraph 10-2 newly inserted).
