Change in flights and car rental

[GirlDreamer]

Originally we were supposed to land about 16.10 on monday, but our flights have changed and we now are supposed to land about 18.07. Do we need to let the car rental company know about this? We've rented through Auto Europe and is getting our car from Budget if that makes a difference...

No, car rental agreements don't start until you collect the car, it will expire at the same time on your last day but check as they once got mine wrong (luckily I saw it before we returned the car)
The times you give at booking are only for them to give an accurate quote, if you collected at 4pm but returned at 7pm then they would quote an extra day in the price.
As car rental companies do not reserve specific cars for customers (you choose or they allocate on arrival) it doesn't matter about times on your booking, only the times on your agreement.
