Florida Rental Car Arrest Attorneys
Wrongfully Arrested in a Rental Car You Didn’t Steal?
If you had a valid rental agreement and the car was not actually stolen, you did nothing wrong. Florida law may entitle you to pursue a claim against the rental company.
Do You Have a Case?
Arrested Because of a Rental Company’s Error?
It happens more often than most people realize. A rental car company reports a vehicle stolen, often due to a billing error, a system failure, or a failure to update their records after a valid extension. The report goes into law enforcement databases. Police run the plate, see the stolen flag, and detain or arrest the driver, even though that driver has a current rental agreement and has done absolutely nothing wrong.

You Followed the Rules.
You Deserve to Be Made Whole.
Being arrested is frightening, even when you know you did nothing wrong. The experience can affect your record, your reputation, your employment, and your peace of mind. If you had a signed rental agreement, were current on all payments, and complied with the terms of your rental, you were a lawful driver, and you should not have been arrested.
Clients who may have a valid claim typically:
- Had a current, valid rental agreement at the time of the arrest
- Were up to date on all rental payments
- Did not take the vehicle outside of approved areas or return it unreasonably late
- Were stopped or arrested because police received a stolen vehicle report for their rental car
- Were not engaged in any criminal activity at the time

Helping Clients Across Florida
While Florida law applies statewide, how these cases are handled can vary depending on where the arrest occurred and where any resulting claim is filed. Our rental vehicle arrest attorneys represent clients throughout Florida, including Miami, Broward County, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville.
Clients in South Florida frequently contact us after incidents tied to Miami International Airport and the high volume of rental transactions in the region, where billing errors and system reporting failures by major rental companies are common. In Broward County, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is one of the busiest rental car hubs in the state, and clients there face similar situations where a company’s failure to clear a stolen vehicle flag results in a wrongful detention. In Central Florida, Orlando’s tourism-driven rental market generates a significant share of these cases, often involving out-of-state visitors whose rental agreements were current and payments were never in default. On the Gulf Coast, Tampa clients frequently come to us after arrests stemming from rental company errors connected to Tampa International Airport. In North Florida, Jacksonville clients face these cases in courts where both local and national rental companies operate through Jacksonville International Airport.
In many of these situations, an arrest that should never have happened leads to a formal civil lawsuit or a pre-suit demand from the rental company or their insurer. We handle both stages and can advise you on the right path forward regardless of where in Florida your arrest occurred.
