They cancelled and over the phone the main place said I would have a vehicle. Someone needs to make sure that cars are available before they let you make a reservation. May need to take calls instead if online since it really puts someone in a bind to have the reservation canceled and you have no vehicle to go out of state. I was very happy with the constant two different stories.

Just so expensive lately. The location was open very small window of time which made pick up a little stressful, worrying if they’d close before I got there. Otherwise overall wonderful and quick pickup/drop off.

We booked a car last minute during the week of spring break. We were concerned they wouldn't have the car we needed so we called National at 10:30am on the morning of the scheduled pickup (3pm). They assured us everything was good. Drove 75 miles to pick up the car only to find out the reservation was canceled PRIOR to the 10:30am confirmation phone call. They didn't have the car we needed, and nothing comparable, and nobody thought to call us. We wasted 4 hours and they offered no alternate solutions... Very disappointed!!
