Transfer a rental car and drive it for free

There are ways to rent a car completely free of charge when transferring it from A to B. For a domestic transfer you usually have 24 hours and have to pick up and drop off the car within a limited period of time.

For the car rental companies this has the advantage that they don’t need to have a paid employee to do the transfer.
