A rental car agent shall not do any of the following:
(a) Offer to sell insurance except in conjunction with, and incidental to, authorized rental agreements.
(b) Advertise, represent, or otherwise portray itself or its employees or endorsees as licensed insurers, life agents, property broker-agents, or casualty broker-agents.
(c) Pay an endorsee any compensation, fee, or commission dependent on the placement of insurance under the agent’s license. Nothing in this code shall prohibit the payment of a “performance-related incentive.” For the purposes of this subdivision, a “performance-related incentive” is not a commission as otherwise defined. A “performance-related incentive” is money or other tangible or intangible items of value paid or given to any endorsee of the licensee which is not based solely on the offering or selling of the insurance products listed in Section 1758.85.
(Amended by Stats. 2011, Ch. 411, Sec. 50. (AB 1416) Effective January 1, 2012.)
