That's right. All day Monday. 23:59 if you like.

But. You do have to keep in mind some things. Weekend rates usually require a Saturday night keep. You can't just rent for Monday alone and get a weekend rate.

Sometimes you can fudge this a bit, though. I have seen weekend or at least weekend-like rates for 2-day Sunday morning to Monday night keeps at times, probably when it's not at all busy, and maybe only with certain CDPs.

Also, while 12:00 noon Thursday is the normal start for weekend rates, I have seen at times with an AAA CDP weekend pricing for rentals starting Thursday morning if you keep for at least 2 or maybe 3 days. And apart from that, sometimes you can get a weekend rate from Thurs-Sat without the Saturday night keep requirement, depending upon CDP and availability.
