Instead of starting a new thread I figured I'd post some price quotes here. Not sure what's going on in TPA this weekend but here are some quotes with my corporate code, for SCAR:

Pickup Time Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 07:00 PM
Return Time Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 07:00 PM
211.49 USD Per Day (1021.58 Approx. Tot.)

Pickup Time Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 07:00 PM
Return Time Wed, Feb 26, 2014 at 07:00 PM
1267.49 USD Per Week (1534.62 Approx. Tot.)

Pickup Time Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 07:00 PM
Return Time Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 07:00 PM
168.50 USD Per Week (279.63 Approx. Tot.)

So that's a huge difference. I know the consensus seems to be if you return early you get charged the rate that you would have been charged if you had booked that time originally. I really could stretch my visit to 2/27 if I wanted to, but what if an honest family or work emergency comes up and I would have to leave say Monday 2/24? Could they really get away with charging me an extra ~$1000+?

Has anyone ever seen a gap this big in weekend vs weekday rates? I've been in a city while the Super Bowl was going on there and the rate difference was like $30/day from weekend to weekday. Sheesh.
