Charleston, SC (CHS) - Earliest drop-off time

**EDIT** I figured this issue out. Sorry for the thread.

I am planning to reserve a car rental via Hotwire, however we will need to drop the car off around 6am. The Hotwire inputs list the earliest drop-off time as 7am. Does anyone know if all of Hotwire's participating car rentals companies at this airport allow for early-am returns?

I don't know a complication because we have no place to drop the vehicle off before we to an early-am flight. Thanks.

My initial question in this thread was whether I could make an early pickup with the rental car I was planning to get. The drop down menu on Hotwire seemed to begin at 6am, and I needed to get in a little bit earlier as I had a 7am flight. I later learned that the drop down menu could be scrolled up to even earlier times.

Btw, I called Hertz at Charleston Int'l and they are there as early as 5:30 am.

I once had to drop a car off before they opened (which i don't like to do as you don't get a receipt stating that you returned the car in the same condition as you received it) and the rental agency (at least the one we were dealing with) have a way to accept cars before they open. HOWEVER, a big issue is if the rental counter if off-site, their shuttle may not begin until their desk opens, at which point you need to find your own transportation to the terminal.

HOTWIRE's pick-up/drop-off times likely coincide with the rental desk hours, so ideally you would want to enter the 'true' time you intend to pick-up/drop-off, but choosing a time outside of the rental desk hours will likely limit the possible results (although this could also be used as a way to target a specific rental agency)

What are the date(s) of your rental?
