I'd probably read the agreement first. I haven't myself, but I have (like many here) on a few occasions no-showed for a car reservation (flight canceled) or canceled at the last minute and no car agency has sued me for breach of contract. Since they wrote the contract, I doubt that they would put a one-sided clause in there that benefits the customer
