Really, no reason to have more than an hour gap between checkout and checkin. That gives plenty of time for staff to do a quick drive thru to see if everything is in order. If they have to fix a water tap, they can do that with a rig parked there.
Of course, the time difference wasn't the issue. The issue is pushing back both check in and check out.
