Des Moines---Ames---Des Moines

The rental process was quick, but the staff's professionalism is questionable. They didn't provide me with a contract, and when I asked, they said it wasn't necessary. In previous rentals with AVIS, I always received a contract. I rented a mid-sized SUV and received a Nissan ROGUE with nearly 20,000 miles on it, which didn't feel good. It indeed broke down five days later on the highway. The most unsatisfactory part was NATIONAL's slow road assistance response. I called them at 10 AM when the car broke down, and it wasn't resolved until after 2 PM. There seemed to be communication issues between NATIONAL and AAA, the roadside assistance company. Fortunately, a highway patrol officer helped call AAA who then towed the car back to Las Vegas airport. The tow truck driver communicated with NATIONAL staff as required by the officer. At LAS, the staff couldn't understand why I didn't receive a contract at LAX and printed a new one for me. The LAS staff seemed more professional than the LAX staff.

National was great. no shoddiness or crazy amount of deposit. and got a free upgrade. and they truly meant that as well. didn't come back home to a massive bill on my credit card. will use them again in the future

Ask money to take the car with 15 minutes before...they don t accept our credit card, we had to wait and to go to see the manager to know it it was possible ...so we reserved on the net, it was ok for us...we will not chose national in the future

Because of the hurricane we got diverted to Miami. I called National and they handled the switch very easily.

Didn’t show much interest in giving a good service just take your car and go attitude, wasn’t happy that I paid more to be able to pay Cash in branch and they wouldn’t expect it or that I paid more because they are “in terminal” but actually are not and still required a shuttle to get to them & back.
