What if I return my rental car late?

What to do and expect if you find yourself in such a situation? Review the basic steps in the following list.

• Notify the agency. If you plan to exceed the agreed-upon car rental return hours, please contact the company and notify them about the delay. Doing so may lead the agency to reduce the late charge if the reasons which justify your delay are compelling enough or beyond your control.
• Know your grace period. As a rule, companies provide a grace period - a time interval from the agreed drop-off hours within which you won’t be charged. Typically, it varies from 29 minutes to 2½ hours, depending on the provider.
• Arrive as quickly as possible. If you don't fit into the specified grace period, expect hourly and daily fees that can range from $10 to $40. Some companies have a 24-hour gap and charge an hourly rate which is equal to 3/4 of the daily cost, plus $0.01. At the same time, you will pay 1/2 the daily price plus $0.01 for weekly rates. It is essential to read your agency's T&Cs for complete information on the applicable late return policy.
