Priceline... extension of car rental?

Has anyone kept a car for more than the time period you paid for via
Priceline? I was thinking of adding an extra day to my rental but had
already completed the rental on Priceline. Is there a possibility of
adding the extra day at the counter before picking up the car?

What if I were to just keep the car for an extra day? Would there be an
extra fee on top of the then chosen daily rate? I understand the cost
of the extra day wouldn't be the amount that I bid on at Priceline...
(thought I wish it were.)

Any thoughts would be helpful.

I'd make the booking then contact the company you get it
with. If in doubt - book for the longer period; the rates
are low enough to make the extra day cost trivial.

I was unsure when I booked mine for 12 nights via Priceline;
the booking was with Avis. I emailed the company and asked
whether they would honour the $22 pd rate if I extended;
unfortunately the response was along the lines of "ask us
when you pick up the car".

I actually returned the car one night early, because it was
more convenient to use the hotel shuttle next morning than
return the car then - but I didn't expect any discount.
Theoretically I could have claimed the $9 daily insurance
back (but not the $22 Priceline charge) - but hardly worth
the effort.
