Strictly speaking, the answer to your question comes in the small print, which I'm sure you have read.
Perhaps in particular the following clauses:
7.4.3. If you have booked a Package and wish to reduce the duration of your hotel or car arrangements, this may not always be possible due to the restrictions attached to the type of air fare booked. You should contact us and we will tell you if we can meet your requests.
7.5.2. If you have booked a Package, where the prices of individual elements have not been displayed separately, you may cancel individual elements providing your remaining booking meets the definition of a Package (see 1.4.2). Should you wish to cancel one or more elements, and your remaining elements no longer meet the definition of a Package, it will be deemed that you are cancelling the whole Package and will be subject to cancellation charges as set out at time of booking.
7.6.2. After departure, no refund will be made on any part-used itineraries (for Packages including a flight, hotel, car rental, transfers and experiences). For example, where you have checked out of your hotel early or returned your car rental early a 100% charge will apply.
Perhaps 7.5.2 being the most interesting to you as you booked fly + car, and so not taking the car would mean, strictly speaking, you
"no longer meet the definition of a package" ....
Whether BA do anything about it is not really relevant, its up to you if you want to play that particular game.
