However if I leave at the default "I am a US resident" I get a substantial discount on this.
Now, my question is I am not a US resident, will they check this when I pick the car up and ping me for a higher rate?
My guess is that you will be just fine, though of course that is not guaranteed. The average Avis rental agent does not even check all the details of a reservation, and almost none would ever check the rental for country of residence (if they could even find the field that would be entered in) against your driver license. On average, rental agents will not check almost anything on the rental contract besides you having a driver license, and your payment/credit card information. Of course, YMMV.
