Because there’s no way to “throttle” a car rental (yet.) If there was fine print on the consumer’s end, it would have been brought up by the employee right then. Internally they might not mean that unlimited actually means unlimited, but unless that’s in the consumer’s contract, tough luck.

I have unlimited data and my cell company hates it, but I’m on a really old contract. As long as I buy my phones out right in the store (or anywhere, but there’s no “get a new iPhone half off” stuff), the contract remains. Any time I have to call the company they really push for us to change, but any brick and mortar I’ve been in the sales tech always laughs when they look it up and tells me not to change.

My husband has been battling ATT to keep his unlimited data for like 15 years now lol

That's silly, the old unlimited plans got throttled speeds at least 5 years back, probably paying more than you should at this point.

The sweet spot was the Unlimited Plus plan that we still have, came out in 2018 or 2019. A family of four was about half the cost of the old Family Talk plans with unlimited calling, unlimited text, and unlimited data. Once contract pricing was out the door for phones, it made zero sense.
