My phone isn't telling my rental car anything. I turned bluetooth off.

  At the very least, it's telling them you turn off Bluetooth.

    Or have a feature phone with no Bluetooth.

      Or don't have a phone at all with you.

        Or have a landline with a reaaaaaaly long cable.

    Are you saying the car has a mechanism to catalogue different drivers without bluetooth?

      Wifi MAC address or other identifier is one method.

        I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, some 2015 Chevys have the option for built-in wi-fi (4G LTE) making MAC tracking a legitimate concern. Granted, the rental isn't getting contacts/texts/etc like this article is talking about, but your rental could guess at the number of passengers or determine how long you spend parked outside of Starbucks based on how long it sees Starbucks wi-fi (assuming the vehicle doesn't have GPS), etc.
