前些年的时候，如果你外出租车，还车的时候晚了半个钟，你大可不必担心。那时候，大部分租车公司都有一个小时的grace period, 换句话说，就是你只要还车的时候比你合同上的时间不晚过一个钟，租车公司不会额外收你钱的。不过那是从前的好时光。一年多前， 租车公司中的老大Hertz 将grace period减少为半个钟，很快，其它租车公司纷纷跟进，到如今，你租车的时候最好看看好你的合同， 问清楚grace period, 再仔细看看每多一小时的补款金额，也许可以提醒你千万不要还晚了。
以下是主要租车公司目前的grace time政策，仅供参考，具体如何还是要以你签的租车合同为准。
Alamo:
“A grace period of 30 minutes applies to rentals within the U.S. Within the European Union, there is a 59-minute grace
period, thereafter a further full day’s rental will be charged.” Even worse: “Daily/weekly rates may also
retroactively increase from the start of the rental if the vehicle is kept beyond the agreed return date and time.”
Avis:
“There is a 29-minute grace period. If the car is returned within the 29-minute grace period there will not be any
additional hourly rate. Beyond the 29-minute period, an hourly rate will apply until it equals the rate for an
additional day. Charges for optional services such as LDW, etc. are charged as full days after the 29-minute grace
period. If a vehicle is returned beyond the parameter associated with a specific rate code the rental may revert
to a higher applicable rate.”
Budget:
“Vehicles are rented on a daily, 24-hour basis beginning at your pick-up time. There’s a 59-minute grace period for returns. After one hour late, hourly charges may apply. After three hours late, a full-day charge may apply.”
Dollar:
No grace period. “The renter will be charged for each hour and/or any part of an hour in excess of a rental day the renter keeps the vehicle until the vehicle is returned, up to the applicable daily rate. … Other rates will apply if the Vehicle is returned earlier than the original return date or if the Vehicle is returned later than the original return date.”
Enterprise:
No grace period. “For most rentals, Enterprise uses a 24-hour period to define a single rental day. For example, if you rent a vehicle at 11 a.m. on Monday and return it any time prior to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, you will be billed for one day. If you return the vehicle after 11 a.m. on Tuesday, you will be charged an hourly rate for each additional hour, or for a second full day, whichever is less. Hourly rates are usually one-fourth of the daily rate.”
Hertz:
“Vehicles are due back the same time of day as rented, Hertz will provide a 30 minute late grace period at no additional charge. Vehicles returned after the 30 minute grace period will be subject to an additional hour charge and/or an additional day charge.”
National:
No grace period. “Rates are subject to change if vehicle is not returned on the date and time agreed upon at time of reservation and rental.”
