LOL I've not had that happen with any rental, so I am not on a list.
Odds are that smaller companies would let you, unless there's some sort of master list that's cheap enough for even a mom & pop to afford.
Hmm...
I can't find any evidence that they share the list with competition renters, though. But, like Enterprise actually owns some sub-brand rental companies. You could have called companies all owned by the same parent company?
I called all the major rental companies. Hertz, Avis, Enterprise and Budget. They all said no way.
I was thinking a local one may rent to me but instead of going through all that I just said fuck it and drove there
That's weird. Hmm...
Well, from what i can tell:
I have some good news!
AutoSlash cannot access the Do Not Rent lists, because they are proprietary to the rental companies.
So, you're (maybe) only on the list with one company - but that one company owns a bunch of sub-brands and you contacted sub-brands that share the DNR (Do Not Rent) list within their conglomerate.
It wouldn't make much sense for companies to share that information with each other, as it's a competitive advantage.
They may have all run your license and decided not to rent to you? I dunno... Either way, it does't look like they share that information with each other.
Buggered if I know and that's about as much effort as I'm willing to put into it. I have so far never been put on the DNR list. I do have a DNR - but that's a medical thing. It stands for 'do not resuscitate'. If my heart ain't beating, just let me stay that way. Let nature take its course.
I do believe that it is very likely that I am on that very list. I wonder if there is a way to extract me from the list
