Shorter, heavy set gentleman who was assisting me was unhelpful and extremely rude. Showed up two hours later than I requested for my rental reservation and was informed that they gave my car away. The gentleman asked “did you call us and let us know?” - honestly laughable considering they didn’t cancel the reservation on their end knowing they didn’t have a vehicle for me until the next day, nor did they reach out to me. Disgraceful customer service. Absolutely disgusting behavior from the National Rep.

As an Emerald Club Executive Elite member, or any customer, I would expect to be treated with respect. I am in town and my personal vehicle broke down. I booked a vehicle through the app. Spent $45.00 for an Uber to get to the airport. I was told by the gentleman at the counter that there were no cars available even though it confirmed in the app. This is no way to treat a customer- basically saying oh well. Customer support was absolutely no help either. Next time I'm here, I will give up my status and rent from another company.
Update- I reached out 3 days ago. Funny that after placing a formal complaint and being told the regional manager would call- still no call back.

Seamless reservation, pickup, and drop-off. Reasonable rates (we drove through 4 states and put over 1000 miles on a vehicle). Thanks National for making our vacation fun!
