Extra day rental
« on: July 09, 2017, 02:47:18 AM »
I need to rent a mini van for 5 days this weekend. I found a van from Alamo for $154 for 4 days and $350 for 5 days. My question is, if I reserve it for 4 days and return it a day late, will they charge me the $350 or will they only add $51 for the extra day?

Why not ask them that very question, call up as a new caller, and tell them you need it for 4 days and hope your not late and now what happens should you be a bit late for the 4 day return how much is the late fee, play it backwards as how much is the late fee, vs is it considered a 5th day?

5 days is considered weekly rate

Even so, extending a rental shouldn't change the price for the entire Rental.

Sure, it would reprice the rental based off what he actually kept the car for.

Keep it the 4 days. Return it, then start a new rental contract for the last day.

Can I rely on what the rep tells me on the phone or will the computer generate a price regardless.

Once you have actually rented and extend the rental you've had the base rate change?
