You are correct. Also according to the official website of the district, EU plates with two letters and four-digit numbers are generally not available to the public because they are only used for rental cars (Avis Rent a Car also uses EU plates for example). The city of Wiesbaden in Hesse has a similar regulation.
Do you know if there's any reason almost all rentals are registered in Euskirchen or Wiesbaden (i.e. why the companies are all located there)? That's a question I've had for quite a while, because it's very rare to see a rental not from either of these districts.
Yeah, or automotive subscription to be precise. I.e. you pay a monthly amount and get a car including insurance, tax, registration, service, checkups etc for a few months, after that you can keep it going or switch the vehicle or cancel the subscription. Basically all-inclusive leasing.

There are still rental cars with plates from other districts. Plates from Düren district (DN) with two letters and four digit numbers are exclusively used by Hertz. Europcar has normal series plates from Hamburg and Sixt mostly uses normal series plates from Munich. But it is true that rental and leasing vehicles with WI plates have become increasingly common in recent years. I also don't know why exactly.
