When Your Used Car Is a Little Too ‘Mobile’

First thing I do in any rental car is turn off any remote tracking, mobile apps, clear out bluetooth and turn off wifi if equipped.

The first thing I do when I rent a car is adjust the mirrors and the seat, and then get out of the airport as quickly as I can.

I might think about resetting stuff when I get to the hotel, but if I'm renting a car I have better things to do with my life.

I doubt that even 1% of the people in the world reset anything in a rental car. Including people on HN who state that they do. This is why pressure should be put on the rental companies to do this as part of the check-in process.

Rental car GPS is pretty much one of the few tracking things I actually want to be there. It makes my rental MUCH cheaper and road help much better. If you need to hide from the radars, chose another method of transportation.
