CALCULATING RENTAL DURATION

Like most rental companies we calculate the rental duration on a 24 hour basis.
So if you pick up the car for example on 1 January 09:00 and return it on 7 January 16:00 the rental duration is 7 days vs. if you pick up the car on 1 January 15:00 and return it on 7 January 11:00 the rental duration is 6 days.
