A few of the low cost car rental providers set maximum daily and total contract mileage limits. For example, a rental car with ok mobility for an 8 day duration stipulates a 300 km/day or 3000 km/contract maximum mileage limit. However, 300 km x 8 days amounts to 2,400 km, whereas 3000 km / 8 days amounts to 375 km per day. Similar maths can be applied to 2 day rentals where the daily and contract mileage limits remain the same. Huh?

Do most rental cars share telemetry data with the rental provider on a daily basis and therefore the 300 km/day is to be strictly abided by? Or, is the daily mileage limit merely an average guideline and the total contract mileage is the crucial limit?

How exactly are rental mileage limits enforced?
