    I had to rent a vehicle because my own vehicle was broke-down for repair. I rented the Emerald Aisle option vehicles because you have a large selection, and it's easy to select and check out. When I returned the vehicle, the process was just as easy, and I had an email of my total charges within minutes. Very happy with the service National Car Rental provides, and I will be back next week as my vehicle is still down for repair.

    Special reservation (rented a minivan versus executive row) that needed counter attention. Customer service rep at counter told me that I would owe $175 more for rental if this was a personal trip. I was taken back at her attitude and discussion. It was incorrect. I had to tell her. Be careful in knowing what are your rights when dealing with DTW

    Every person we interacted with at the DTW National Car Rental office was helpful, thoughtful and friendly. Despite the cold and overcast weather, our visit to Michigan was cheery and bright partly because of each of them. The SUV we rented also handled the snow and icy conditions well, keeping us safe as we travelled Up North and back. Thank you to the whole DTW crew, including Austin! Happy New Year!

    The initial experience was great, the staff found the vehicle type that I requested. After the rental (upon return) there was a miscommunication and was corrected effortlessly with a phone call. I've been a rental member here for 20 years and never had a bad experience with them!

    I had injured my arm due to a flight attendant, opening a bin and a bag falling on it so I have to say that from the bus driver to the people at Emerald club. They were so wonderful! They helped me with my bags, pulled a vehicle up for me so I could be on my way. The thoughtfulness, especially traveling during the holiday was much appreciated and I highly recommend national rental car.
