As mentioned elsewhere with the Bombardier AWD, this contract is mileage limited, but the amount of miles included seems to vary depending on the exact hour I book the car for, i.e. I get 420 miles included for returning the car at 3pm, and 490 for returning it at 7pm (incidentally neither of which quite cover the distance from CPT to PLZ). The base rate doesn't change, which seems rather strange. (Even adding a full extra day barely changes it.)

1) Changing away from an airport location does *not* change the mileage restriction. Has anyone had experience with this?

2) The confirmation email indicated the mileage limit was in km, not miles (same amount, different unit, i.e. 490 km instead of 490 miles), which is a substantial difference - however logging on to the reservation it continues to appear in miles, not km. Any idea what I will be held to?

3) If I make the reservation for an extra day, so as to include more miles, and then I return the car 'early' will the mileage allowance be pro-rated? There's no indication on the reservation that the mileage allowance is per hour/day.
