How do I earn rental credits?

When you become a National Emerald Club Member, you can immediately start earning credits towards free rental days on qualifying rentals!

What is a Qualifying Rental?

• A "qualifying rental" is defined as the number of vehicle rentals or the number of paid rental days that occured at a participating National Car Rental or Enterprise Rent-A-Car brand locations within each calendar year.


• A qualifying rental does not include (and credits will not be issued) on the following type of rentals:

• Rentals on rate plans for accounts that do not allow employees to participate in award programs; 


• Rentals when a member chooses to receive mileage, credits or points for a frequent traveler program (such as, but not limited to, an airline frequent flyer or hotel points program);


• Rentals used as an insurance, dealer, body shop, or fleet replacement; or


• Rentals by employees of Enterprise Holdings, Inc. or its affiliates or subsidiaries, licensee and licensee employees booked under an employee discount rate;

How do I earn credits?

• If your rental is 1 - 7 calendar days, you will be rewarded 1 credit


• If your rental is 8 or more days, National rewards you even further by dividing your total rental days by 4. This means:

• At 8 rental days you earn 2 credits


• At 12 rental days you earn 3 credits.

How long are points/rental credits valid?


 

Rental credits do not expire. Once you earn enough credits for a free day, the free day is valid through December 31st of the following year.
