What should customers do to extend their rental period?

Customers should contact Enterprise to request an extension prior to the original due date because this is the proper protocol to ensure that the rental agreement remains valid and any additional charges can be processed appropriately. By reaching out directly to Enterprise beforehand, customers can clarify the availability of the vehicle for an extended period, avoid any late fees or penalties, and ensure they are informed about any changes to their rental agreement. This proactive approach also demonstrates good faith and responsibility in handling their rental.

Renting again after returning the vehicle would not guarantee the availability of the same car or rate, potentially leading to inconvenience and unforeseen costs. Waiting for Enterprise to initiate contact about an extension is not advisable since it places the burden on the company rather than the customer, which could risk breaching the rental agreement. Contacting an outside rental agency is not relevant in this scenario, as the rental is specific to Enterprise, and an extension must be handled directly through them.
