One way 4x cheaper than same location return
I was checking rental rates for a work trip in next week. When I first searched, it accidentally had me returning to a different location from a previous search.

I then adjusted it to return to the same airport I pickup from. For a 2 day, 22 hour rental...the cost for a full size rental is about $250 if I return to the same airport. If I book it as a one-way rental returning to a location 700 miles away in another state, the rental cost is only $63.

Of course I want to return it to the original airport for this trip but that price difference is substantial. What am I missing as far as a drop fee, penalty, etc for returning the car to the same airport?
