In my only experience the early return fee applied where I returned the car on an earlier calendar day. It is retarded in a circumstance where say you book a car for 3 days at 8am and return it at 11pm on the 2nd day. You get charged for 3 days and $15 - makes no sense. I did get this removed explaining that it made no sense given they were charging me for 3 days. I have not experienced this with any other company. Returning a weekly rental after 4 days is a different scenario and I'd say a re-price is okay.
