Bumping the thread for any updates and some specific advice.

I have EE status and a couple free days I want to use.
Mrs. Lee has a short road trip coming up originating from our home; I will not be travelling with her.
We are married and have the same address, so per National rules she is automatically included as an add'l driver.

Will there be any issues if I go pick up the car using my EE status/free days, bring it back home, and then Mrs. Lee takes it on her road trip without me?
I would also return the car after her trip (we are pretty close to ATL airport, so renting from there is convenient enough).
Mrs. Lee would be taking the car from Georgia to N Carolina & back.

I know I can call in and have the free days transferred, but a) would like to utilize my EE benefits and b) due to scheduling it's just going to be easier for me to pick up/drop off. But, I don't want there to be any issues if some mishap occurs during the trip and the primary renter is a couple hours away from the car at the time.
