early pickup

[friendoffigment]

have a rental with alamo for an 11am pickup. my flight recently changed an hour earlier so most likely will pick up at 10am. will that change my price. i figure i am paying for a full day already so the earlier pickup shouldn't change anything.

I’ve done this a number of times when we‘ve picked up a car to drive to the resort after a cruise, where we got off the ship and to the rental car pickup earlier than expected. You should be okay, so long as you don’t spill over to another 24-hour period with your return time. If your reservation shows an 11 am pickup and an 11 am return, however, your paperwork may show a higher rate for the extra hour. As long as your actual return time works out within the 24-hour time blocks, the final charge should agree with your quoted price.

I have done this often - picked up earlier than the original reservation. Your 24 hour period will start when you pick up you vehicle.

It depends on when you were supposed to drop off and how the pricing structure works. If you were on a weekly rate to drop off at 11am 7 days later there will be an additional charge for the extra time. If you were on a weekly rate but scheduled to drop off on day 6, then there would be no extra charge.
