Adding Car Hire gave big discount on flight but don't need car

Booked a flight today for work to Vegas (shame it's work I know).

But what surprised me the most was the headline price of £3.2K came down to £1.3K when I added a hire car. Now that's a massive price cut!! T class versus W tickets but hey it's a big discount.

Now the question though. The travel agent has advised me to pickup the car as I may be charged the full ticket price if I don't. This seems unlikely to me as I can't see anything in the t&c's that allow for this? Anyone had an experience with not picking up a car?

Really don't need a car in Vegas as I'm staying four days in a hotel and won't leave it, so I want to avoid the inconvenience of picking it up.
