From now on, I'm going to try various pickup/dropoff times to see if it affects price. It's not like it makes any difference at the Emerald Aisle...
Or try looking up a Contract ID that "applies" to you. They're set rates that shouldn't vary on times, unless of course the car is returned late. The Emerald Club ID, 5007125, is basically a floater that takes the rack rate and applies a discount to it, if even that.
