Depends on what you mean by grace time, as there are two possible definitions:
1. Returning the rental later than you said you would.
2. If you return the rental at a time that causes you to go past exactly one day (or exactly two days, etc.), how long do you have until you get charged for another day?
I think the first case is you have 7 hours, i.e. if you said you're return at 6 AM and you return at 7 AM, no problem, but if you return at 2 PM, you'll get charged a $10ish late fee. I thought the second case was 29 minutes, i.e. if you check the car out at 2 PM on day 1 and return it at 2:29 PM on day 2, you would get charged for 1 day and not 1 day and 1 hour. However, according to bhomburg above, that grace period is now gone.
