I am by no means car free, but this seemed like the simplest idea.
Yes - this is what we do when we rent vehicles for work trips (company policy is to rent from our contracted vendor - they will no longer reimburse mileage for personal vehicles.) For Saturday returns (they are closed on Sunday), they will accommodate vehicles that are returned for a $10 fee rather than charging the whole rental fee for Sunday. This is obviously a possibility for those who do not own cars...as well as the majority of my company's employees who do.
To each their own, but I'm beginning to think that this thread is really a topic for Foo, rather than LCF?
