I looked at Hertz (with the Platinum CDP) and it is the same price. Not being sure how long the weekly rate covers, am I better off just returning late or trying to extend when picking up?
In my experience extending a rental by a day through the Avis app after pick-up is usually cheaper than changing the reservation beforehand. 25% of my Avis rental agreements do not include quotes for extra hours / days, so YMMV.

The Hertz AMEX Platinum CDP (EMEA region) works fine in Europe, i.e. x days result in the same price as x days + 4 hours.
