Alamo experts one more question ?

[NeedaVacation03]

I am helping my SIL plan their summer trip. She was originally going June27-July5 so I made her reservation for a van for $301.
Today there was a ding for July 4 so she is changing dates. 6/27-7/4 and I ran the rental car price now it is $388. It is more for less days.
So the question is: Can she keep the original reservation and just turn it in early or will there be a penalty? I am going to keep watching it but I dont know if the holiday will go down.

Instead of creating a new reservation, try changing the existing and putting in the new dates. I have found many times that even though the dates have changed, the quote retains the original base rate.

I tried to change the dates and it raised it to the higher amount. I am going to leave it alone. I am hoping she can just turn it early without penalty.

In March, we returned our Alamo SUV one day early and they honored our original rate, less one day. Technically, it wasn't a full "day" early, just early enough on the same day to not trigger 2 extra hours--or the equivalent of 1day. I think your SIL should be fine.
