National Car Rental just announced their “One Two Free” promotion, where Emerald Club members earn a free rental certificate for every two qualifying rentals between August 20, 2015 and January 31, 2016. A qualifying rental consists of a paid rental of a Midsize or larger vehicle at participating National Car Rental locations in the 50 United States, including the District of Columbia, for a period of two or more consecutive days. In the past you MUST have registered for this promotion prior to making any reservations, but I cannot find that in this year terms so I am not sure if that holds true or not. I am currently trying to find out but in the meantime I suggest canceling and re-booking and prior rentals to ensure current reservations count. If you are not currently a National Car Rental Emerald Club member, you will need to first join the program (which is free) and you will automatically be entered into the promotion.
