By late in the day, inventory often runs low, leading to two key issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Higher Prices<\/strong>: Fewer cars mean limited selection and significantly higher rates\u2014sometimes more than double the morning price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Guarantee<\/strong>: Even with a reservation, you might not get a car. Agencies aren\u2019t obligated to honor bookings if they\u2019re out of vehicles. Given their tendency to overbook, the possibility of running out of cars is real, especially for local branches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What if your flight is scheduled to arrive late in the day?
