  • Service 32121
  • Inventory 54321
  • Value 32121

Bottom Line:

National has a reputation for good cars and a pro “pick up at one location, drop off at another” policy. The problem seems to be the rental agreement is confusing and most people don’t know what they’re actually going to be charged. And when it comes to National, prepare to be charged a lot.

Praised For:

  • Emerald club
  • One way rentals
  • Good locations
  • Newer cars

Common Complaints:

  • Confusing rental agreement
  • High price
  • Cars not available
  • Locations close earlier than stated hours
  • Slow refunds

About The Site

What: RentalCarComplaints.com is a free resource for information about rental car companies from the people who have dealt with them.

Why: The site was born out of frustration. At some point nearly all of us have to rent a car and more often then not it's a miserable experience. Long lines, rude customer service, hidden charges. It doesn't have to be like this.
