After Hours ReturnsCan you Return the Rental Car after Closing?After hours returns are those in which you return the rental car after the location is closed. More and more, rental companies are restricting this practice. For small neighborhood locations there are liablity issues. Because they can't inspect the rental car when it's returned, the location must assume that any damage to the vehicle is the responsibility of the renter. It's almost impossible to prove that when you dropped off the rental car, it was fine! (Unless you take photographs of the vehicle with a camera that is date/time stamped that can't be manipulated)
Even if a location does not generally offer late drop off, you may be able to work out an arrangement.. Your best bet is to call the location and ask to speak to the manager.
Most Airport locations that are not open 24 hours will still allow late drop offs after the counter closes. There is a lot of security on the grounds of the airports and in the parking garages. Each location will determine the availibility of this option. Check with the company directly for restrictions and instructions on how and where to drop off the car.
