Because local airports can't make special rules just for them that are
contrary to FAA rules.

Good point. I wonder, are there any potential local, non FAA regs that
could workaround this ?

Are you familiar with the terms "Supremacy Clause" and "Federal Preemption"?

I'm familiar with "we don't rent airplanes to over 70s" which would be a
potential workaround the FAA.

Apples and oranges.

What a private business does within the framework of discrimination
laws is entirely up to the private business.

The FBO may not rent to over 70 (never heard of such a thing in airplanes),
but the airport certainly can't ban over 70.

If anyone cared to press the point, I doubt that such practices by car
rental agencies would stand a court test.
