Excellent service and friendly environment, I don't have to think twice to rent a car with National
Thank you for your positive feedback, Lioel. We're glad to hear you had a great experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again. - Lisa
100% will use National from now on. National has a partnership with the company I work for, I didn't get the name of the person that helped me check in at Greer Airport but he was nice especially early in the morning. John the greeter for that area was an absolute rockstar! 10/10 for both of them! Even the attendant as I was leaving right at the gate was very personable and nice! I will use National every chance I get in the future.
Thank you, Corey, for your wonderful feedback. We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team, and it's great to know they made a lasting impression. We look forward to welcoming you back. - Lisa

Rental experience was efficient, professional and reliable. Originally booked rental two months out through a travel website. Rechecked rates on rental car website directly a month prior and saved nearly 40%. Additional driver policy for household members is a great benefit. No significant markup for returning rental at a different location. Car provided was as booked and ready upon arrival.
Thank you, Shannon, for sharing such a positive review. We're delighted to hear that our straightforward rates, convenient policies, and attentive service contributed to your smooth rental experience. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we hope to see you again. - Lisa
Bad customer service. The rental agent was totally untrustworthy.
We're listening and would like to know more, Todd. At your convenience, please visit www.nationalcar.com/en/support/contact-us.html to contact us. Please be ready to provide your contact information, reservation or rental agreement number and the details. Thank you. – Lisa
The Houston team was so knowledgeable and helped me pick just the right vehicle for my long trip. They were patient in answering questions and did well to provide excellent customer service. Dre at BWI was friendly and expeditious.
Thank you for your feedback, Brooke. We're glad to hear our team was able to assist you in finding the perfect vehicle for your trip, and it's great to know that you had such a positive experience with Dre. We appreciate your business. - Lisa
Sunday, May 17, Chicago Midway Airport National Rental Car: My wife left her purse in a rental car that had error codes when we started it up. When the agent moved us to another vehicle, she missed her black purse on the black floor. 90 minutes later, we returned and were told the codes had been cleared, the other car rented, and there was no way for National to identify or contact the new renter before Monday. We filed a missing item claim and asked for a manager to call. This is where that has gone since.

Called National customer service. Customer Service Rep: We will definitely escalate this and you WILL be called back by a manager by 9am eastern time. Otherwise, call us back. Me: Can I schedule that callback now? Because I will not get a call.
Also called Lost Items line and left a message asking for a call back regarding the claim.
On May 28, my wife received an email that her purse had been found. All contents were intact. She could schedule pickup, donate the contents, or, for the mere sum of $110, have the items shipped back to her, courtesy of National. The purse had been in the other rental for the 5 days we were in Chicago, when we could have arranged a pickup. Since we were now back home, and my wife needed her EPI pen and prescription sunglasses, she paid the $110.
Once the item arrived to us, National reached out for online feedback. We AGAIN asked for a manager to call us. We were NEVER called.
As of August 10, my wife has rented a National Car 78 days this year, over 1/3 of the entire year so far. She is a loyal customer, but loyalty should cut both ways and she no longer recommends National to new business renters. We have still never been contacted by a real person. National, you can do better.
Thank you for your feedback, Robert. If you’d like to discuss this further, please visit www.nationalcar.com/en/support/contact-us.html to contact us. Please be ready to provide your contact information, rental information and the details. Thank you. – Lisa
Easy pickup and dropoff
Great deal staff
I'd rather have a better vehicle but beggars can't be choosers
Thank you, Paul, for your feedback and for choosing us. We’re glad the pick-up, drop-off, and value met your expectations. - Lisa

You cannot go wrong renting with National. Clean and well maintained vehicles. Each rental is notable for the experience from beginning to end. The team members are very welcoming and helpful when arriving and dropping off your rental.

Everything was perfect. Location, ease, vehicle selection, convenience were fantastic.
Thank you, Michael, for your great feedback. We're thrilled everything, from the location to vehicle selection, was perfect for your needs. - Lisa
I like National's policy of letting you select your own car.
We own a Honda and I wanted to rent a Honda so that the controls were familiar and I wouldn't have to fumble around learning new ones (which could potentially be dangerous).
Hi John, thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad our vehicle options made your rental comfortable and safe. Your feedback motivates us. - Lisa
Rafael made our rental car experience wonderful.
We checked in with him and he treated us with ultimate respect & patience under stressful conditions.
Our Glacier Park trip was off to a great start, all thanks to Rafael!
If at all possible I will use National Car Rental in the future due to this experience.
Hi Nathan, thank you for sharing your experience and recognizing Rafael's exceptional service. We are thrilled to know he contributed to a smooth start for your trip, and we look forward to welcoming you back. - Lisa
I had a Nissan Pathfinder. The only concern was that the trunk or rear door got stuck and it was impossible to open. This was not big deal for me since I was with my wife and was able to load the bags through the side doors. I took it to two of your offices, but they couldn't unlock the door. Out of curiosity, I'd like to know how they finally opened it.
Thank you, Arturo, for sharing your experience. We appreciate your understanding and hope to see you again. - Lisa
