Car Rental Complications

I am trying to do something that should be pretty simple: rent a car for 24 hours in a major university town in England this August. I finish my program at the University of Cambridge on the morning of August 15. I am seeing The Winter's Tale in Stratford in the early afternoon and then catching the U2 concert at Wembley Stadium that night. The only practical way to get to the various places I need to go is by car. I planned to drop it off back in Cambridge on Sunday morning and then take the train into London, where I will spend the night before flying to Prague. But because Hertz in Cambridge is closed on Sunday, I can't drop the vehicle off there, so I will have to drive it into London and drop it off there and pay an exorbitant charge. The whole shebang will set me back something like £100. Hopefully because it's Sunday I won't get screwed over with the congestion charge in central London on top of that.
