Car2Go settles driver protection fee class action
Settlement
A class action concerning Car2Go's driver protection fee was settled for $1 million. The settlement applies to eligible users in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, and in Quebec under a separate qualifying date. The article reports the settlement but does not state the date it occurred.
Source excerpt
The lawsuit was settled for $1 million, but Majidi said less than two-thirds of the total funds recovered will be available to claimants on a pro-rated basis after fees are removed.
The settlement only applies to users in B.C., Alberta and Ontario who paid at least $10 in the fee after March 25, 2018 (or March 25, 2017 in Quebec).
The lawsuit centred around the "driver protection fee" created by Car2Go in 2015, which added an extra dollar to the cost of every trip.
