A warning if you are renting a car this holiday season. 

If you rent a car you may be leaving behind some personal information. 

Experts say if you use the car's Bluetooth to connect with your smartphone to make calls, get directions or listen to music, you should know the technology in the car is storing your information. 

Security experts say at the end of your trip you should go into the car's settings and delete your phone. 

If you used the car's navigation system, you will also want to clear the location history.
