I wonder if you could work this in your favor: reserve your car for 8:30pm, check in ahead of time, and then pick it up at 8:15. I wonder if they'd bother to change it.

Of course, if you did check-in ahead of time with an 8:00pm pick-up, I would certainly expect they could change the time-out to the actual time-out upon your request. Still, as you found out, better safe than sorry.
