One of the main things you may need while you are living under the radar is a car.
There are several ways to rent a car anonymously. The first way is to have a business account with a business debit or credit card so you can reserve the rental with the plastic card. When you pick the car up, you will have to show your driver’s license. This will only be used to prove you have a legal license to drive and to prove you are who you say you are. No one will be able to discover you rented the car unless they have access to the bank records for the debit or credit card you are using. You will of course make sure ahead of time there is no way anyone can do that. It is simple to open a business checking account and I explain that in the section on banking. The police can call all rental companies and get records of who has rented cars but the information isn’t sent to them automatically. Even if the police were looking for you, you would still be safe to rent a car and use it. To be safe, return late at night when nobody’s around. Put the key in the drop box and walk away.
Another way to rent a car anonymously is to have someone else rent the car for you and let you have the keys. All rental car companies will ask the person renting the car if there will be any other drivers. If they answer yes then the rental car company will want to see the other driver’s driver license. They usually charge more to rent a car with an extra driver. It works every time if the person renting the car says “no there won’t be any other driver’s” and they trust you enough to let you drive the car. However, it doesn’t matter if you show your driver license because they aren’t going to enter the second driver’s name into any database anywhere. They want to look at your ID because they need to know if you are legally licensed to drive a car. It’s a good idea to be certain you have insurance on the car when you do this. It may be a good idea to pay the small extra fee for the insurance the rental car company will try to sell to you.
