Made reservations for 6am pick up. When I arrived, there was no one at the counter. A sign said see the attendant in the parking garage. There was no one at the National kiosk in the garage. A sign instructed you to pick a car and check out at the booth as you exit. There was NO ONE at any of the booths until 7am. I was trapped in the rental car parking garage with no way to leave with the rental car for almost an hour. If attendants aren’t scheduled until 7am, don’t allow 6am reservations.

Great Experience from arrival (so quick, and with a smile) to return (Brian). I loved the car! At the garage, a young woman working there took time to show me quick how to connect my phone, so I could use my map and listen to music. Would definitely use National again. Thank you!

after retuning the rental vehicle at the MSP airport, i left the area and proceeded to the elevator, then i realized i forgot my cellphone in the car. I went back and an agent approached and helped me. her name was ERIN TODD, she tried to find the phone and went to the cleaning area and found it. that is the extra mile service we all need from a customer service!!!,,,thank you ERIN and National!!!

Always awesome to rent from National. The only issues was that after many flight delays we landed in MSP airport. We got to national and our car was ready. National decided to do a computer upgrade and we got stuck in the parking lot for over 45 mins waiting for the attendant to hand right all contracts. We had another 1 hour and 30 mins to drive after waiting 45 mins.

I recently rented a car from National at the MSP Airport, and my entire customer service experience was fantastic. After returning my car, I accidentally left my computer inside. While I was already seated at my gate, Nina Person, one of your representatives, called to let me know she had found it.
Since my flight was already boarding, I didn’t have enough time to return to the rental center and make it back in time. To my surprise and immense relief, Nina went above and beyond—she personally came all the way to the terminal to deliver my computer so I could catch my flight.
Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication were truly exceptional. Thank you, Nina, and the entire National team, for providing such an outstanding customer experience!
