- Ever read the fine print on the back of a rental car application? This is

-
- 11. For rentals in Arizona, It is required by law that I acknowledge my
- understanding that it will be a violation of Arizona statues 13-1806
- if the rental car is not returned within 72 hours of the due date and
- time specified on the rental record and that I shall be subject to a
- maximum penalty not to exceed US$150,000 and/or imprisonment of 1.875
- years
