So whenever you need to rent a vehicle and National is not an option, rent from a participating Enterprise location to keep your Emerald Club rental credits coming.
I tend to think of National as being for the road warrior/expert traveler and Enterprise being for the occasional renter. I love the quick service at National, grab your car out of the Emerald aisle and go. I m not a huge fan of Enterprise, the rental paperwork process always seem to take an interminable amount of time and then there s the hard sell for the insurance, questions oceanfront hotels myrtle beach about your deductible and the walk around the vehicle inspecting for damage before you leave. That s not the rental experience I m after.
oceanfront hotels myrtle beach Still, there are occasions where I ve rented from Enterprise, such as needing a van or a pickup for location travel rather than landing in a city and needing an airport rental. And on those occasions oceanfront hotels myrtle beach it s certainly nice to get something oceanfront hotels myrtle beach out of it, even if it s not my preferred agency. It s an enhancement to the program, for sure, and without any takeaways so that s a wonderful thing to report oceanfront hotels myrtle beach and something that makes National a better program than it was last month!
Also spouse rented oceanfront hotels myrtle beach a few times when car was in body shop. Dealer went with Enterprise. One time, I was able to rent with Hertz HLE submit rental claim to insurance. Much better experience with Hertz and earned alot of points. Got great prices w/Hertz saved their insurance company alot of $$ (over Enterprise well under their $20/day insurance rates!) and earned some points too.)
Totally agree with your observations of Natl being a valuable oceanfront hotels myrtle beach quick in-and-out service while Enterprise seems to treat the renter like a dumb Martian whose never rented oceanfront hotels myrtle beach a car before. There are times when every car rental agency oceanfront hotels myrtle beach has to go over the fine print with a renter but times when they need to hand over the keys and let us go. But that s a topic for another time.
I ve been a National Elite member for over 10 years continue oceanfront hotels myrtle beach to rent with them for the generous free days offered frequent renters. I will only rent with Enterprise if hell is close to freezing over for various reasons including their lack of quality service and their bogus advertising where they showcase an Economy-sized car for $9.95/day but once all the extra are added up, they are often priced similar to other car rental agencies. This year I ve had rentals with Hertz that have fallen well below $9.95/day so it pays to shop around.
Don t ever have an issue with one of there cars even the credit card companies cs have often told me they have the most complaints and fight with the most vigor. Anything enterprise tells you with the handshake is useless unless there is paper to back u up.
National with little paperwork? Not for the non-Emerald renter. I recently rented from National at DCA, there was one person ahead of me in line so I decided to check in at the automated kiosk. I ended up going through more than a dozen screens of legalese long after that person had gone, while casually chatting with the agent who agreed it would have been faster for me to just wait in line. So much for express service.
@Stephen, oceanfront hotels myrtle beach re: fine print. Reminds me of an experience at Avis in Champaign-Urbana (in-town), when the dot-matrix printer was printing lines on top of one another and all rentals oceanfront hotels myrtle beach were stopped until it was fixed. The people oceanfront hotels myrtle beach ahead of me, a pair of Koreans who looked like they had more experience renting cars than the agent had processing rentals, asked the agent to give them the garbled paperwork to sign — you know we ll sign it anyway, oceanfront hotels myrtle beach whatever oceanfront hotels myrtle beach it says . Didn t work
@Gary, I guess it s because oceanfront hotels myrtle beach I am the occasional renter I only rent cars a few times a year, and usually from Enterprise or Hertz where my employer has a corporate discount. The recent National rental was the first time I rented with them since 2002 (or possibly 2004), and I figured there was no need to join Emerald oceanfront hotels myrtle beach Club for just a single rental. I guess I was wrong
Overall I consider a rental car to be a hassle (not because of the rental process but because of the need to drive and find parking), so usually when I travel I use a mix of mass transit and taxis; I only rent cars when the inconvenience of not having one reaches a fairly high threshold.
[...] dedicated rental lines, but no rewards. Those in the know (i.e. readers of View from the Wing) can earn National Emerald Club credits at most Enterprise oceanfront hotels myrtle beach locations. Excluded locations are found on page 3 [...]
Just rented with Enterprise with the $9.99 weekend special, got a free upgrade from economy to a pick-up, some free gas in the tank, free drop-off at airport once you rent with them a few times the upselling on insurance stops I also occasionally rent vans from them (to avoid the crooks at Uhaul ) Best value for the money in a car rental company in my opinion.
