Wait until they change price as you approach the shelf. Maybe put that phone in airplane mode when you shop.

My neighbor is quoted substantially lower prices on the same car sharing app as me, for the exact same cars. I don't know if it's the sole reason but she has a really old smartphone. Actually surprised me she can even still run the app on it.

The phone is maybe possibly part of it but most of actuarial calculations for car rentals are more based around age/zip code/sex and whatever driving history they can find on you than anything else.
