If you’re going to need to return your hire car out of hours, it is important to confirm this beforehand. Read on to find out why.
If you would like to return your rental car outside the depot’s opening hours, you’ll need to gain approval from your rental provider. Many locations allow for after-hours returns, but it’s important that you confirm the drop-off time with your rental provider as you’ll be charged if you return the car later than the time specified in your rental agreement. You should also let your rental provider know as soon as possible if you expect to be delayed in returning the vehicle.
