What single point in the USA would you find the greatest variety of license plates? (apartment, rental)

I swear I have seen every state, most Canadian provinces, and a good smattering of foreign countries all in the parking structure at Disneyland. It’s one-stop license plate collecting.

You got to be careful with actually identifying people from Florida though. Many rental car companies register their fleets in Florida to cut costs.

+NJ I learned. So a lot of these NJ plates are not actually NJ weirdly.

New England. Specifically anywhere in the Boston CSA (besides that that covers 4 states itself).

I see NH, VT, MA, RI, and CT just from commuters. NY, PA, and a ton of TX for relocated people who haven't changed. Maine and Florida for people defrauding the taxes. Quebec about 10x more than all other provinces combined (even the maritimes?). Lots of SC and NC plates. one or two Georgia plates a week on my 2 mile commute.
Occasional PR plates too.

And a bunch of MD rental cars.

If you walk around the parking areas next to the US Capitol in DC when Congress is in session, you will easily see license plates from half the 50 states without even trying.

these days, probably a DMV office in Texas.

Nashville and Los Angeles both fit the description. Older Midwest cities like Chicago for example have way less out-of-state residents than cities further south and west.

Washington state is also very strict about enforcing this due to the number of people that buy cars out of state and don’t register to avoid the sales tax.
