It means when you rent a car one day and return it the next day, you may be charged for two days if you do not return within 24 hours. Reserve in advance. This gives you plenty of time to get the best bargain. Apart from having a valid driving license, some agencies may require renters to be older than 23 years old (which shouldn't be a problem for our group)! Child seats may be available.
