Hope this helps!
While generally true, I'd be careful about assuming this will always be the case.

Perhaps my knowledge here is outdated, but I believe that sometimes weekend-only rates are based on a return by noon Monday or Tuesday, so for example a Friday 1330 to Monday 1330 *might* not end up being the same cost as a Fri 1200 to Mon 1200. If you anticipate such a situation, could always do a sample booking for the later time just to see if the cost is the same.
