Picking car up early

I have a reservation for a midsize SUV at KOA for 7PM. Due to some flight changes I will actually now arrive at 3:30PM. I called Thrifty (also have a reservation at Budget) and they told me that the earliest time to pick up a reserved vehicle was a max of 1 hour before. To change the reservation to reflect a pick up time of 4:30 PM would increase the rental by about double what I originally reserved for. If it was just a few days, not a big deal but this is for over a week rental.

Anyone have experience picking up a reserved car more than an hour earlier than the reserved time?
