Each calendar day counts as one rental day, no matter the pick-up or drop-off time.

Example: Rent from June 17 (7:00 AM) to June 19 (6:00 AM) = 3 days → $30 × 3 = $90. Even if drop-off is changed to 8:00 AM, the price stays the same.

c) A rental day as 24 hours ( charged by hour )

24 hours is counted as on rental day. Extra hours are rounded up and counted as another full day.

Examples:

  • June 17 (7:00 AM) → June 19 (7:00 AM) = 48 hours = 2 days → $30 × 2 = $60

  • June 17 (8:00 AM) → June 19 (7:00 AM) = 47 hours = 2 days (1 day + 23 hours) → $30 × 2 = $60

  • June 17 (8:00 AM) → June 19 (9:00 AM) = 49 hours = 3 days (2 days + 1 hour) → $30 × 3 = $90

Please, note: If you want extra hours to be charged by the hour instead of full-day rounding, use the Mixed (day & hour) rental type.
