National Car Rental Company

National Car Rental Company Video

In 1947 24 independent rental car agents got together to form National Car Rental Company.  There were immediately 60 offices around the country.  That was a lot for 1947.  But it's nothing compared to 2000 locations world wide in 2008.  People go to National when they need to rent.

While on business many people need to rent automobiles.  When they get off the plane to work for a time in a new city or even country, it's nice to have independent transportation without having to rely on others or on public transportation.  At night that's even more important.  Public transportation can be dangerous after dark.

Incredible rental deals can be found with National.  A daily rate lower than $20 isn't unusual.  During some special promotions it's even lower.  Try $1 a day for one way travel to certain cities at certain times of the year. 

For last minute travel look to National.  It takes positive action to be the last minute rental leader.  People don't always have notice for a trip that requires a rental car.  Nobody pre-plans a funeral trip, for instance.  It doesn't matter to National the reason, they want to help with last second situations.  Try some of these.  $170 for an entire week, or just $19 for an economy model.  Low last minute rates are pretty unique to National.

Something not many people know is that National and Alamo rental car companies are owned by the same corporation.  They've both been owned by Enterprise since 1997.  Because each has its own niche, they remain independent and active brands.  Whereas Enterprise is associated more with business rentals and corporate fleets, and Alamo has a reputation as a vacation car rental company, National maintains the image of the place to go for last second rentals. 

That doesn't mean someone can't go to any of these companies for any reason.  Use Travelocity to compare them all.  Look around for specials and coupon codes .  Choose National car rental when it has the best rates.
