They definitely do not hold your ID, except perhaps to lend you the tools to replace your battery in the parking lot. Forcing a customer to drive without a hard copy of the driver license is not smart. The deposit you pay to rent the tool is identical to the purchase price. This is true for several states, including California. Some of their rentable tools are better than the tools available for retail sale while costing less or including better accessories like a sturdy case. I kept several rental tools. I rented a few with intent to purchase them and told that to the store personnel so they could order a replacement. One of my favorite tools is a serpentine belt wrench. The rental version comes with a case and a couple of extra crow foot wrenches. The retail version has fewer accessories and no case. Some locations now only rent for 48 hours. I had no problem returning those rentals after a week. Replacing suspension components often requires specialty tools.
