Still need to start with pulling the cables off the battery, cleaning post and ends and reinstalling.

Study your battery connections-

Always look at the source of power first

if you got it from a dealership - put the problem in their laps - not to mention a rental car

How cold was it at the time? Many battery problems are temperature sensitive.

The positive terminal of the battery is often the cause

Make sure the shifter is fully in park, if that doesn't work then turn it on, step on the brake and try it in neutral.

battery may be new, and connections at the battery may be clean, but how about the ground connection at the block, and the positive connection at the fender mount starter relay?
