I have 8000+ points, and am looking to rent a car for 3 days - it gives me the option to rent for 2 days for 1400 points (or 2800 for a Full size) but still 1 day rate plus all fees/taxes on the full cash rate.
I tried a <24 hour rental and I couldn't apply any points.
So here, you're not given 15 hours free, you can use points for the 3 days and then pay for 1 day.
Is this a feature of the program - 1 minimum paid day to use points?
It's annoying but you have to reserve points rentals for full 24 hour increments. Don't make a reservation for 2.x days, as that allows 2 days of points and 1 paid day, no matter how close to 1 the 0.x day is. So just change the hours so it's a 3 day rental and return early. I've done this many times at many locations and always works; it just doesn't let you reserve a partial day with points.
