I am landing at SFO at 10:35 PM. I was wondering what happens if my flight is late. If I book my rental with Priceline for 11:00 PM, and I get Alamo, National or Enterprise and I get delayed by an hours those counter will close. Should I be booking for a time of 12:30AM (after midnight)? Does that guarantee I will get Avis, Budget or Hertz (they are open all night)? Can I take the car early if my flight is not late, or will I have to wait?

Also would I be charged for additional driver fee for spouse at SFO if booked using opaque priceline offer? It seems that by law there can be no additonal driver fee for spouse in California. Just wanting to confirm that it still applies for the rental car companies Priceline uses.

Thanks.

This is direct PRICELINE (current at time of posting):

Delayed or Cancelled and Rescheduled Flights:

Priceline's rental car partners will hold your reservation up to 24 hours after your scheduled pick-up time if your flight is delayed or cancelled and rescheduled.

Rental days are calculated on a 24-hour clock, and that clock starts when you pick up your car. If you arrive late due to delayed or rescheduled flights, some rental car companies will extend your rental by the same amount of time. Make sure you review all of the details of your reservation, including pick-up and drop off times, when you arrive at the rental counter.

If you are concerned about a delayed flight you could book for midnite pick-up... i don't see any issue in picking up the vehicle an hour early. In the rare instance they don't have any cars on the lot you could potentially have to wait an hour for your official pick-up time, but usually car rental companies have a sufficient number of vehicles on the lot in order to fill and walk-up customers that may present themselves.
