When I picked up the car, I asked the attendant who assisted me if I were to return the car the next morning, which was less than 24 hours from the time I picked it up, if I would receive full credit for the remaining days and was told that I would; however, when I returned the car the next morning, I received the bill after I left and it did not reflect any credit. I called the location to inquire and they said they were not sure to what I was referring.
