It is much cheaper to have the car for the whole time, rather than book it for one day fewer.

Is this possible, or will they cancel the whole booking if we no-show?
I have called HERTZ when I have been stuck in heathrow overnight owing to a cancelled flight and when they repriced the hire for it to start a day later the price went up. I did persuade them this was ridiculous and they credited me the difference

I have also had hires completely cancelled as a "no show".
