If you arrive within the opening hours of the car rental station, the renter will arrange a later pick-up date with you. If your collection time is delayed outside office hours there will usually be additional charges.

The cost of picking up your rental car outside office hours depends on the supplier and the services requested. If an employee has to wait at the pick-up station especially for you, this service will always be more expensive.
