I do a lot of one-ways in the US. I noticed that it's often with an out of state car, even if I'm taking it in the "wrong" direction. When I asked about if the car needs to go back, the clerk always chuckled and said, "The plates don't matter. They go all over the place."
It was a long time ago, and rules may have changed. But their comment is true, cars do go all over the place and from the renters perspective the plate doesn't matter. But when I was there it mattered for revenue accounting for us. We purposefully tried to move those cars away from our region since we were only given 50% of the revenue (the other 50% went to the region who owned the car). But again, things may be different nowadays.
