National Car Rental Launches "One Two Free" Promotion for Emerald Club Members

ST. LOUIS, MO--(Marketwire - Aug 18, 2011) - National Car Rental is launching its ninth annual One Two Free® Emerald Club promotion, providing registered Emerald Club members the opportunity to earn one free rental day for every two qualifying rentals (of two or more days) with National Car Rental. The promotion runs from Monday, Aug. 22 through Jan. 31, 2012.

"Our 'One Two Free' promotion is a great way for us to continue rewarding our loyal customers for choosing National for their business and leisure travel," said Rob Connors, assistant vice president for the National Car Rental brand. "Frequent business travelers can enroll and discover all of the benefits the Emerald Club has to offer."

To join National's Emerald Club, visit www.emeraldclub.com. Enrollment is easy; there are no fees to join and new members can begin to enjoy faster service at airports, free upgrades and a choice of program rewards.

To be eligible for the "One Two Free" promotion, Emerald Club customers must register at www.emeraldclubpromos.com/12Free. There is no limit to the number of free days earned, and participating members can also earn a free rental day for referring a friend in addition to their standard program rewards for all rentals.

Emerald Club members can redeem "One Two Free" free rental days between Sept. 2, 2011 and June 24, 2012. Members can redeem up to three free rental days per redemption at any time, including weekends. In keeping with the speed and convenience of the Emerald Club rental experience, National notifies participants about their free rental days via email.

As the leader in convenient car rental for the frequent airport traveler, National helps time-sensitive customers significantly expedite the rental process. Emerald Club members can bypass the counter, choose their own vehicle, and simply drive away from the airport. When returning, members can take advantage of the "Drop & Go(SM)" service, which allows customers to drop off their vehicles without having to wait for a receipt. E-receipts are then sent to customers via e-mail.

The Emerald Club program also provides access to National's "Emerald Aisle," an exclusive section of the lot where members can choose any vehicle and pay the mid-size price, even for a vehicle that is full size or above. National has expanded to 62 Emerald Aisle locations in the United States and Canada, including the top 50 airports for business travel.

National was also given a "Leading Edge Award" by Executive Travel magazine as the top rental car service in the travel industry and received SmarterTravel's Editors Choice Award for its Emerald Club in 2010 and 2011 as the "Best Rental Car Loyalty Program."
