TYS:

08/27/17 12:00 pm:
9/3/17 10:00 am
Minivan:
Age Over 25:
Best quote: $373.75  through Chase UR portal (which will cost me approximately 25k points)

Also, can someone verify this:

Cancellations received within three (3) days of pick-up date (not counting pick-up date) will be subject to a rental car agency cancellation fee equal to one-day average per day rental cost based on your reservation.

Does that mean that cancellations made more than 3 days prior get a full refund issued?

Thank you.
