|Feb 2025Mostly smooth but was the first and only time I've been asked my collision deductible. Not knowing it, I was roped into purchasing coverage through them. Ive rented countless times both through them and other agencies and never been asked that!

|Mar 2023They did not inform me that my car was electric. They told me to leave my keys in a box when I returned it and then proceeded to charge me an extra day.

|Dec 2022Had to cancel the rental and change travel plans because National does not accept debit for one-way rentals. Extremely inconvenient. Could have been avoided if the website would have made this policy clear when booking. Had no trouble booking a one-way with Avis instead. Thank goodness for them.
