    My car was still there even though my flight was delayed twice and once cancelled. I got in very late but the car was still there.

    recently rented with National Car Rental at Kansas City Airport, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. •Efficiency: The Emerald Aisle made pickup quick and easy—no long waits, just grab the keys and go. • Vehicle Quality: The car was clean, well-maintained, and felt reliable for both city driving and longer stretches. • Customer Service: Staff were professional and friendly, offering clear directions and making the process stress-free. • Return Process: Dropping off the car was just as seamless—fast check-in and no surprises. What stood out most was the balance of convenience and care. In a busy travel hub like Kansas City, that kind of reliability feels like a gift.

    Im giving the management staff a one star for them being blatant liars and not delivering on their promise. Im specifically calling out Tait Harvey, Alessandra Siracusano and Brad Burkett. I had an issue with my vehicle on the way to Branson and the National Car Team in Springfield was outstanding. My car had a mechanical issue that was undriveable but the was well taken care if there. Once I return back to Kansas City and told them of my issue everyone was so helpful and left feeling like they would compensate me for my troubles. I was sent emails from Tait and Alessandra of how I was going to be compensated for a few free days and would credit my account. Sixty days later I emailed them to use my credits and no one returned my call or emailed me back. I called Tait multiple times and nothing. Such cowards. We are only talking about 2 days of free rentals! This is what they offered! I didn't ask for money back from the first debacle because the SPRINGFIELD team was on it and things happen. Just beware that the folks I mentioned are not customer focused and helpful. Pitiful
