Should I just return a day late & be charged the ex. day rate on the contract?
Yes, you absolutely should just return a day late and be charged as per the contract terms.
All of that said, just because they priced an 8-day rental $150 more than a 7-day rental when you first booked, doesn't mean that the cost to extend by calling would be $150 more. It's always worth calling to check as you may avoid a late return fee of $25 or so that gets assessed if you don't notify the rental company of your planned late return and extend the rental.
