Any problems with returning a hire car early?

I am looking at hiring a car in France for a couple of days, and have made some interesting observations. It can be a lot cheaper to hire a car for 3 days than 2, and this seems to be consistent with quite a few hire companies. (Europcar, Hertz, National, Ebookers etc.)
For instance direct with National, an economy car rental total cost for 2 days is 184€, 3 days is 83.27€.
That's less than half price for keeping the car for an extra day.
Is there any reason I can't hire the car for 3 days then give it back after 2?

Phone them up and ask if bringing it back early would be a problem. Maybe if the 2 day rental would mean bringing the car back out of hours (ie if they're closed on a Sunday) then they're charging you extra for that.0

It's not an out of hours charge, I am renting Thursday pm to Saturday pm, cheaper to return Sunday pm0
