Ah, yes, that would throw a monkey wrench into the works.

As it happens, I was already planning a one-way rental, so it was just a matter of changing the pickup point — the price wasn’t affected meaningfully. Considering they otherwise would have had to provide a hotel voucher, I suspect I probably could have gotten reimbursement if it had been needed.
