Best Answer

It depends on where you're travelling back from and where you picked up the car.

If you've been located in London with the rental car, I would just return it in London.

If you've been travelling outside of London, I'd investigate dropping off somewhere on your way back to London that has a direct train service to London, either Heathrow or other locations along the way. Other locations will probably be even less busy than Heathrow, so may be preferable.

It's worth noting that dropping off or picking up at airports often have surcharges attached, so I would check that as well before settling on Heathrow. In addition, picking up and dropping off at separate locations can attract a surcharge so that would also be worth checking.

What happens if the car rental place is closed?

Please Note: A vehicle that is returned after hours will not be checked in until the next business day. If returning after hours when a branch is closed, the customer is responsible for the vehicle until the satisfactory check in of the rental vehicle the next business day.

Yes, you can return the car in a different location. Usually, this is called \u201cone-way rental\u201d. However, please note that, sometimes, an extra fee may be applied to your reservation.

Can I return my Hertz rental car after hours?

After hours return is available. Please park the vehicle in the Hertz area and leave keys and rental agreement in the drop box located at the counter. After hour return charges (as well as optional service charges) for non-Insurance Replacement rentals, will accrue until the location reopens for business.

Can you return a rental car at any time?

If you return your rental car at a time other than what is on your rental agreement, the company might charge a fee for modifying your reservation. While the rental car company will ordinarily charge only for days used, there might be additional fees involved with changing the contract after pickup.

Do these when you return the rental car.
