I wonder if the "sources" are correct that the missing men rented a car.

The United States does not issue IDPs to foreign visitors. To get an IDP, contact the authorities of the country that issued your driver's license or its motoring association. If you want to rent a car, you may need both your license and an IDP; find out the rental company's policies in advance.
If the men rented a car, surely there would be a record unless maybe they had convincing fake ID's which would indicate this wasn't a spur of the minute decision not to return. I would think just about any rental would have GPS which would be traceable. If the rental was abandoned, why wouldn't that location be revealed now that the identities and photos of the missing men have been made public?
It looks like one or both could have obtained a Ga. driver's license. It seems the only requirement for applying is establishing residency for 30 days.

All MOO and conjecture
My daughter's finance (she just got engaged and this is the first time I have called him that...WEIRD!) worked at AVIS Rentals and tells me not all cars have GPS or any other tracking devices. I was floored because I assumed all of them would in case someone did not return a car. However, according to him, that is why the company has repo guys.
