Travel experts say if you break a week-long car rental contract by returning the car early, rental car companies can charge you a daily rate instead, which is often more expensive.On a recent trip to Switzerland, Marc Schiler booked a Budget rental car for two weeks.

He was shocked when he got that email. Schiler didn’t expect a discount for returning the car early, but he also didn’t expect to pay more. That’s exactly what happened, though. Budget charged him an extra $500. “So they are well within their right to recalculate their rate if you’re returning the vehicle early. But as a practical matter, there’s just the logic of it that doesn’t seem right,” he said.
