A rental day refers to a 24-hour period during which a rented car is available for use by the renter. Rental companies define a rental day as beginning at a specific time and ending at the same time the following day. This means that if you rent a car at 3:00 p.m. on a Monday and return it by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, you will have rented it for one rental day. Should you return the car at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, you may be charged for an additional rental day. It’s important to check with the rental company for their specific policies regarding rental days.
