How specific are these pickup times? Can I pickup a car earlier than the requested time, and as long as the return time is within the requested period, (i.e. 48 hours), will they allow that?
I have an upcoming week-long car rental that returns at 4PM. I wanted to extend the rental two more days, but the rates to do that were astronomical. Renting a second car for the two days was a better financial deal for me. I scheduled the pickup time of the second car as the same as the return time on the first car. I figured I'd turn one in, go back to the counter, and collect the second car.
But my schedule may work better to return the first car a few hours early. I'm wondering if I can pickup the second car then, and just return it a few hours early, so as to stay within the 48 hour rental period.
Has you ever done this? Any comments?
