We typically almost always rent on a weekly basis even though we only intend to keep the vehicles for 3-4 days because of the discount you get for a weekly rate. Can't ever recall at Thrifty being charged anything but the weekly rate, no matter when the vehicles were returned. Hope that helps. I might add that is not our experience with Budget, depending what city you are in. fwiw.
