Late Return
Quick answer
The Agreement says a late or different-location return may create a surcharge and standard daily or partial-day Charges; exact pricing and any courtesy time require confirmation.
60-second explanation
Why it matters
Returning later than the confirmed time can affect Charges, vehicle availability for the next renter, and whether an extension is authorized.
In plain English
The due date, time, and location on the Rental Record matter. If plans change, contact STARS before the due time instead of assuming extra time is automatic.
The Agreement describes possible late or different-location Charges but does not publish one universal amount or grace period.
Useful context—not a universal rule
Courtesy time varies by rental company and rental. A common practice is not a contract term.
What to confirm before you arrive
Practical checklist
- Save the exact return date, time, and location.
- Confirm whether a grace period applies.
- Contact STARS before the due time if the plan may change.
Example
A renter expecting a delay asks for an extension before the due time rather than returning late and assuming the same daily rate continues.
Assuming a late return automatically becomes an approved extension.
