Car Rental Residency

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to rent a car in NY for a day, and my boyfriend from the UK is helping me to book one for my friend and I (I live in NY). Apparently, the car rentals are cheaper based on UK residency. The price difference is substantial, and I was wondering if having my boyfriend’s place of residency on the car rental form would matter when I actually arrive to pick up the car. Would they not give me the car rental based on a different residency? My DL is from NY state. Just curious, thanks!
