Would I be better off just keeping the existing Enterprise reservation, returning the car late, and paying for the extra day? Best case scenario is that extra day charge is just one-day prorated from my original rate (roughly $71/day), but is it possible that Enterprise could charge some insane rate for that extra day (like $500/day), or reprice my entire rental charge for the original 7 days + 1 extra day to current rates ($1,700 in total)?
From my understanding, as long as you alert them in advance that you’ll be returning the car a day or two late the original contract has the pricing already included. This is with Hertz, I have no experience with enterprise. But from my understanding they seem to be quite flexible (at least the time I had an insurance loaner from them)
