Do rental car companies have a way to check if you drive outside the states they say are allowed?

I'm trying to pick up a rental car from JFK airport to drive to Boston and the rental car places are saying it's only ok to drive in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Would they have any way to know if I drive to Boston via a GPS or lo-jack or something? What would they do if they saw me going into Massachusetts?Do rental car companies have a way to check if you drive outside the states they say are allowed?
Yes, it's called GPS. You would be in violation of your rental agreement. I suppose the company could charge you extra or report the vehicle as stolen. What if you were involved in an accident while you were outside the area you are allowed and agreed to remain in when you signed the rental contract.Do rental car companies have a way to check if you drive outside the states they say are allowed?
The GPS system will show where you are. And there can be all sorts of messy things, the company can charge you more, or you can end up at a police station, for stealing the car. And if you make an accident outside the allowed area, you can find the insurance company won't pay. So my advice is to respect the contract.
Now days most of them are equipt with gps, however the large companies really don't care where you go unless you have car problems.

Rental car companies have used GPS devices since the mid-1990s so I would not advice this........
