The US has been charging foreigners more for national parks and all kinds of shit for decades. Even rental car agencies charge a premium if you don’t have a us drivers license.
I can see the case for charging a premium on car rentals.
A state issued drivers license is basically a certificate saying “this person can handle a car”. But as requirements to obtain a license are not standardized across nations it is hard for a company to determine whether a forgein driver is skilled or not. Therefore a premium price seems reasonable.
Have you seen how easy it is to get a license in the US? 16 year olds basically do a couple rounds on the school parking lot with an instructor and they hand you a license.

The USA is probably the easiest country to obtain a licence in, with the worst drivers in the world. But I understand the logic.

That does not mean it is not discrimination.
