Due to a flight time change, I'm considering rebooking to an earlier flight that arrives late morning. Anyone know if I can change the pickup and return times (not the dates) on a National reservation without a price change? If so, what's the best way to go: online or phone agent? I would be sure to move both pick up and return times so that I don't incur any extra hourly or daily costs.

My first booking with National, thanks for any first-hand knowledge anyone can provide.

EDITED TO ADD: Thanks anyway, but after rebooking my flight I called National and the rep did change the pickup and return times with no change in the price. (Actually came out ahead just a bit, as some of the airport fees had actually gone down for a change.)
For future reference, picking up a few hours early will not affect the price as long as you return it at the same time or earlier.

Example:
Reservation at noon, pick up at 10 AM, return a few days later at 10 AM - no extra charge.
Reservation at noon, pick up at 10 AM, return a few days later at noon - extra charge.
