When I was a new immigrant, I rented a Hertz car with a corporate card. Prepaid rental. Got to their office and they wanted to run some form of ID verification / something... said that I "failed" that check because my SSN didn't match my DOB, etc. (Well, no kidding, because it wasn't issued til I moved to the US). "We cannot rent to you." Me, already arranging a ride to Enterprise, "Sure, whatever, just issue a refund." "Sorry, prepaid rentals are non-refundable." The fuck they're not. "Oh, we decided not to rent to you, but we're holding the full cost of the rental" might sound like a nice little racket... was resolved, but it took a few calls to corporate (I didn't even bother arguing at the rental location), which is a few more calls than it should. If you ever fly to Alaska, try taking an Uber a couple of miles away from the immediate airport vicinity, and rates will be a lot cheaper. You may still run into bullshit like attempts to pull "we need to contact your insurance ourselves and verify policy details and coverage limits before we let you waive our insurance coverage" but the daily rate will be substantially cheaper.
