I am pretty sure they do check. There is a national private company that gives electronic access to DMV records for most states. I can think of two occasions where I am fairly certain they ran a check once with Dollar and once with Hertz. Both occasions have been when I was on a leisure trip and in casual cloths interestingly enough.
