I had a rental a couple of years ago that had the silly "Start" button and no

The company that rents it says there is are detrimental effects on the car

very specific instructions about airing the car out for 20-30 minutes after

The ozone generator I used in my car does not produce levels of ozone
significant enough to damage or affect plastics or leather.
