HRS §279L-2

Car-sharing programs must warn owners about liens

Before a car owner shares their car through a peer-to-peer car-sharing program, the program must tell the owner that if the car has a lien, sharing it may break the lienholder's contract, especially if there is no physical damage coverage.

The statute, as written — Notification of implications of lien

When a car owner registers as a shared car owner on a peer-to-peer car-sharing program and prior to when the shared car owner makes a shared car available for peer-to-peer car-sharing on the peer-to-peer car-sharing program, the peer-to-peer car-sharing program shall notify the shared car owner that, if the shared car has a lien against it, the use of the shared car through a peer-to-peer car-sharing program, including use without physical damage coverage, may violate the terms of the contract with the lienholder.
