Can I return early?
I am returning home, flying into O'Hare, Thursday afternoon. I wanted to rent a car and return it to my local edition Friday morning. Hertz.com says a midsize is $66. This is too high for my taste, so I ran some other combinations. If I rent Thursday afternoon and return Saturday morning, it's $21/day.
My question is, if I returned Friday morning anyway, would they charge me an "early return" fee? It's no big deal, since even if I have to keep the car until Saturday, it's still cheaper than the original scenario. But, I'm wondering if I could save even more $$. Or, am I being unethical here?

No can do, raisin. It will be printed on your rental agreement that an early return may be subject to a different rate or words to that effect. My guess if you turned it in the next day the charge would be $66. Why not just keep it the extra day and still save yourself 25 bucks?
