Using GPS to Spy on Car Renters
New York tried to ban the practice after a Connecticut rental firm used it to track drivers for speeding, but the legislation failed.

I remember the Conneticut rental in question. The guy rented the car on a debit card and drove to Virginia. Upon arrival his debit card was rejected for a purchase because the rental company fined him $100.00 m.o.l each time his speed exceeded 80 for 120 seconds and they hit min for $700+ over the first several hours of his rental.
He sued on due process grounds.
I have read lots of rental contracts. Seems to me from memory they fall in to the following categories:
1) car can not leave the state.
2) the car can not leave the following 4 or 5 states.
3) the car can go to 48 states but not to Canada or Mexico or some combination of a little ways into mexico or Canada is OK depending on where it is rented.
