I get not knowing that Puerto Rico and Guam and part of the Untied States, maps leave the territories out a lot.
But most maps of the Untied States I’ve seen have Alaska and Hawaii in a little side section. THEY’RE SPECIFICALLY HIGHLIGHTED due to being so far from the other states. I would think this highlight would stand out to people.
I think I remember a story about a Hertz employee refusing to honor a reservation for someone from New Mexico because they claimed they needed an international driver’s license to rent the car since “they didn’t live in the US.”
