National Car Rental

Frequent business travellers are the core audience for National Car Rental, part of Enterprise Mobility. Its Emerald Club loyalty programme is the main draw: members can bypass the counter at participating airports and, through the Emerald Aisle, choose any car from a designated row while paying the mid-size rate they booked, with higher tiers unlocking larger cars. Locations are concentrated at airports, mainly in North America and selected international markets. Corporate accounts commonly include National, and rentals count toward free rental days. For occasional leisure travellers, the benefits are less significant, and published rates can be higher than value brands. Before booking, check whether your employer has a negotiated rate, confirm Emerald Aisle availability at your airport, and review insurance coverage and fuel policies, since they can change the final bill.
