What is National Car Rental?
National Car Rental is a car rental brand built around frequent airport travelers and business travel.
National Car Rental products and services
National’s best-known product is Emerald Club, which speeds up the rental process through benefits such as Emerald Aisle access, counter bypass, rental credits, and app-based account management. The brand also serves business rental programs, partner rewards, and standard airport and city car rental needs.
Where does National Car Rental operate?
National’s location network spans the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Australia. Its positioning is more airport-led than Enterprise Rent-A-Car and more business-travel focused than Alamo.
Who owns National Car Rental?
National became part of the Taylor family’s group when Enterprise acquired the National and Alamo brands in 2007. It now operates under Enterprise Mobility’s integrated global structure, but keeps its own brand, loyalty program, and business-travel identity.
