Actually when you RETURN the car and final bill printed. At least that is how it worked on 2 budget rentals we had -

The first one we did not even know it existed as it was not shown on the contract at all. We saw the receipt with an amount much less than it should have been - went back to counter to ask for an explanation. Counter agent printed the full receipt and we found there was a discount applied - $12.99 off for a one-day rental FLL city office to MIA airport. It is called "Help you to Offset Expenses on the Road" from a code for conventions. I am going to use the same code in 2 months to see if it would generate the same discount. It is 4 bucks more expensive than the X code before the discount. Given the discount is 13 bucks I am willing to gamble. We do this type of One-Way rentals very often for trips longer than 7 days which making airport parking too expensive.

The second one we knew (a $10 offer to offset cab fare from cruise pier to city rental office in Long Beach for a 2 day minimum rental). Discount printed on contract but not applied until car return.
