User wants car rental sites to allow searching by just the date of pickup, rather than requiring a specific time. This would help capture better availability and possibly find pricing deals, especially when planning trips with flexibility.
Are there car rental sites that allow searching by just the date of pickup, rather than a specific time on a date? Car company sites and third party searches that I've found all require a specific time of pickup and return. Whether we pick up the vehicle at 8 AM or 4 PM (for example) does not make a huge difference, but I am hoping to (A) capture the best availability, and (B) maybe find some pricing deals. Even better if that tool offers a several-day window in which to search, which is common with many flight searching sites. We’re still in the planning stage of a trip, so we have lots of flexibility. Otherwise, if there are any car rental insiders here who may have tips or hints on scoring the best deals/availability. For instance, is Friday at 4PM popular with business rental drop-offs, so there are lots of vehicles available at 7PM that evening? Sunday at 10AM when families are heading back home after a vacation, so rent that afternoon? etc etc
