Today, National Car Rental, the award-winning car rental brand for frequent travellers, launches its annual “Rent Rent Reward” promotion in appreciation of its Emerald Club loyalty program members. The promotion offers registered Emerald Club members one free rental day* for every two qualifying rentals. Each free rental day covers base rate (time and mileage) only. Bonus points towards free days* can be earned for additional rental and non-rental activities such as renting through National’s top-ranked app. The “Rent Rent Reward” promotion is effective immediately and points can be accumulated until February 29, 2020 and redeemed until June 15, 2020.
 

New to this year’s promotion, a ‘surprise’ mid-promotion bonus will be offered for a one-time bonus of 100 points.
 

“The annual ‘Rent Rent Reward’ promotion is our way of showing our appreciation for the loyalty and support of our Emerald Club members,” said Frank Thurman, vice president of marketing for National. “We want to help new and existing members earn more free rental days, while experiencing award-winning convenience and efficiency when they're on the road.”

There are no fees to join, and members enjoy expedited service at airports and free upgrades in National’s “Emerald Aisle,” an exclusive section of the lot where members can select any vehicle as long as they reserve a midsize car.
 

Members can also use the innovative National app as a single point of contact to manage all aspects of the rental experience from reservation to return. Everything from profiles to rewards can be tracked, and at select airport locations, app users can view real-time inventory and hold a specific vehicle while they are on their way to pick it up.

Registered Emerald Club members may track and redeem the free rental days they earn through “Rent Rent Reward” any day of the week between August 22, 2019 and June 15, 2020, by visiting www.emeraldclubpromos.com/rentrentreward2019.
 

Up to three free days can be redeemed per rental at any time, including weekends. In the spirit of the speed and convenience of the Emerald Club rental experience, the serialized coupon code for the Free Rental Day coupon can be found on “My Activity” page within 48 hours of earning a free day. The Free Rental Day coupon is valid on compact through full-sized vehicles in all promotion regions.
